$155 stroker cranks in classifieds

vdub

Has anyone had any experience with the $155 cranks that are in the classifieds.

They seam really cheap and im kind of worried about there reliability.

I think you have to buy 5 to get them at that price. They're probably the same Chinese cranks that you've probably seen going for around $230-270 here. Remember you get what you pay for...

Go DMS or DPR welded counterweight and sleep well at night...

There are not many people making forged cranks. THe only thing to note is that is is 4140 instead of the 4340. I wonder who is doing the final machining to make sure they are straight and balanced. I would consider it for a mild build.

on the 84 mm cranks, 4340 is mentioned. but what does that really mean to the consumer other than a higher number or just another selling point? for a mild build, 9 to 1 compresion or under may just fit the bill. straightness, well, that would have to be checked out thats for sure.

wow

78.5 Counter Weight $285.00

Why are some company's charging $699.99 if these cranks are better.

Anyone knows if roller cranks are still being made?
And who supplies them?

Get a welded DPR crank. Don't buy a forged "Chinese" Demello crank, I already tried that. Evil or Very Mad
