Who sells FSA cranks?
I'm looking for the bottom end FSA cranks (they're just called "tubular cromoly".. not the fancy smack daddies, x-drives or wild childs) I tried my LBS, but they gave me quotes on Snafu and Kona. I tried 3ride, but they gave me quotes on Profile and Primo.

See, I've got cheap 1pc cranks on my bmx. They're not bent yet, but I'm wearing through the cheapass pedal on my grind side from learning grinds. I've all but killed it in just a couple days of learning. 1pc cranks use the stupid 1/2" system instead of the 9/16", so I can't use my snafu's from my mtb, and I can't buy decent pedals that will survive some abuse.

So, I'm looking for cheap 3pc cranks, so I can buy decent pedals. The FSA's are the cheapest I've heard of, but now all of a sudden no one seems to have them, or be able to order them in.

Any insights?

I think Bikeroom.com has them, but I know zero about BMX cranks, check out this page:

http://www.bikeroom.com/items.asp?Cc=1188

~$103 Cdn

Oops, the $103 cranks aren't "tubular cromoly", they look to be forged steel maybe?

Thanks... those aren't the ones I was looking for per se, those are the "Logo" cranks, but at least I'm getting closer to a price range I can deal with. They're cromo, just not tubular.

last time I was in AKA, they had some FSA cranks in their display case, it might be worth giving them a call.

Those Pig cranks are solid cromoly, not tubular. But i'd recommend those for the cash .glib.

DONT GET THOSE PIG CRANKS

I had some for a while, the bb bent and they weighed 5.7lbs with bb.. pretty crappy cranks actually. The ones you are talking about are great, but hard to find.

A surprisingly decent set of cranks are the ones that came on the norco supercross bikes in 2002 I think. Maybe 2001. They are the axiom - dmr ripoffs, whatever they were, the bearings in em have lasted me almost 2 full seasons, first on a mountain bike, now on a bmx.


try and looking fer those, probably just called axioms.

Diamond back cranks are really good. They are just profile rip offs, i have had mine for a year and a bit and they have been great.

They are $190 though which sounds like more than you want to spend

Yeah... I'd like to try to get this done for under $100 if I could. If I wanted to spend double that, you're right, a lot more possibilities open up.

those are some dope looking cranks. i do believe cycles lambert is the canadian distributor so try getting ahold of them to see if they can even get them anymore. also they arent the same but the cranks on my bmx are FSA tubular cromo. there are also some Nirve 3pc tubular cromo cranks you can get from danscomp for $59.99US or about $80CAN plus about $7 shipping. or there are some redline tubular cromo cranks for $79.99US or about $110CAN plus shipping. http://www.danscomp.com/
