has anybody ridden any of these cranks? what choice would you make,

I'm guessing your going for some street cranks... have you looked at the Truvative cranks? I know those are amazingly stong

[p3jordan]

yeah i want some new cranks for my p.3...something light and strong.

Hollowbites without a doubt

run them on my BMX, flawless cranks, stupidly stiff, easy to install and light too! With the 22mm axle you get a strong setup, and can go to Titanium axle for even more weight saving

the big thing with the Powerbite / Hollowbite is they have a twin-bolt clamp fitting instead of the 48-spline friction fit used on the KHE, Profile, etc.

this friction fit tends to wear with time, and there is no method of taking up the slack, with the Primos you never suffer this problem.

the only thing with the Primos is to let them "settle" (like with Shimano Hollowtech II i.e. Saint cranks) - install them, go ride, snug them up again, go ride, snug them up again and they're good....

If you're going to get bmx cranks jordan get the lightest pair. Fly cranks

For sure the pinch bolts are key - 48t splines all wear out eventually.

I've also got Diabolus cranks for sale for $150 but you're probably not looking for an 83mm bb
