hey, after a period of not riding too much due to uni I got back on my bike n the cranks are pretty wasted. I wanna replace them (raceface prod DH bash/fsa xtreme isis crap) with a triple ring saint or summot simular. cant really afford nuffin more (crank n bb that is). wacha guys think, its for an all round hard tail (i already have a bashring for that sorta stuff). sorry for any forum repitition, as i sed ive not been around the biking scene for a while so... feel free to post up any links to previous threads n stuff. cheers!

Diabolus cranks would be a good choice, same price as Saint on jensonUSA.com or else North Shore DH with Signature FR bb.

here in the UK?

easy answer:

way cheaper, stronger and more flex free...cromoly cranks

DMR Chieftan Mk2 (£125) or Mk3 (£160) includes b/b

Saint is £159 with dual ring and bash - worth looking at but i luv cromoly cranks myself :P

yeah, if price difference is harsh get cro-mo's. Mind you, you could buy it off jenson and ship it and it'd cost the same or less

I found a pair of Saints on eBay for $220 USD. That's about $100 under retail. Which is nice.
