psycholist Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Based on other Crank Bros products I've seen I wouldn't risk buying it unless you get a string of people who've actually used it long term saying it's great. Most Crank Bros stuff seems to be made of cheese, but that's my opinion on them based on seeing the allen keys on their multi tools round in no time flat, having to rebuild a friend's brand new Crank Bros pump before it would work at all and all the people who've had egg beater pedals wear out or self destruct in less time than it takes Shimano pedals to break in - I wouldn't pay money for Crank Bros anything unless it was to put it on my wall to look at...

craigjames Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 The headsets are suppposed to be very good. stainless steel bottom cup, decent bearings, designed by cane creek and filthy light... seems pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafal Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Adam tarty said Ali C has it in race bmx and works good but had to face the headtube and fork crown to be sure it works smoothly. It's neccessary or only recomended? Headsets have 5y quarantee like they said so I'm only afraid about my frame and fork. Nobody in my town is able to make the facing.
