Why would they? If anything it should be the other way round.


--- Quote from: dude... on October 19, 2014, 07:26:16 PM ---ive seen a few more sprockets coming out in socket drive, its cool because the interface can facilitate inserts that can convert to spline drive meaning you dont need to switch to socket drive cranks straight away.

i guess the issue for most companies is making a compatible crankset. be hard to include the interface on a 3pc (unless you build it into the arm). maybe if more people knew about it and more companies were pushing it, it might catch on. if sprockets go below 25t again it could catch on, cos the regular sprocket bolt location interferes with the chain at such small sizes

So the installation/removal of sprockets on 2 piece cranks is too inconvenient, unless there's a hexagon bit there?

dude...:
smartie pants. the 2pc design would in fact be advantageous for socket drive, were any companies actually using it. other than a splined adaptor (which is good for manufacturers not having to offer multiple sprocket bores), im not sure what the best way to include socket drive on a 3pc crankset-unless the nonagon is built into the crankarm itself.

yes bmx is stupid, but at least we dont weigh our seatclamps anymore

Sasha:
You would, if you still had seatclamps. I can tell.

GUMP_:
Come on tom. Your all into those carbon fiber bikes.  You would weigh a seat clamp too

Sasha:
I did, that's what Ben was on about. Though I was more taking the piss out of Evans own brand parts than actually caring how much it weighed.
