Good Morrow,

I'm looking for cranks for my new purchase and are these cranks any good? They are a very good price and i can get them easily. The Sram Omnium Crankset is only like $20 more tho. I haven't looked at Sugino as every man and his fixie has them. I won't be doing tricks, just smashing it around the city.

These are the cranks i'm talking about.

They look fairly similar to the omniums. I don't know anything about these, having never heard of them before. Will the English BB that they come with suit your purchase?
I have the omniums in black, my mate has them in silver. I've not had a problem with them and they're really stiff (important) but they creak and crackle a bit.

Seen these on a bianchi fixie at uni. They look quite chunky, especially the non drive side arm. Can post a pic at a later date if you want?

they are a mass produced chinese built crank much like everything else. Japanese based company i believe...

Rex make cranks which retail for $100 and look and work exactly like my sugino messengers...

Jing, Pauls Cranks are uber exxy!

i also toyed with the idea of running road cranks and running a ss ring on it. It seems possible to say buy a set of sram force cranks and run race face decandant rings on them. I thought that would have looked cool.

Thanks guys... After more research and talking to a cool local bike shop, I'm going to go with the Truvativ Omnium because they come with a sealed BB, which i've been told you you need here because of the weather.

So that cancels out the suginos unless i get a uber nice Phil wood BB.
