Broke my Fly cranks. Need new crank suggestions
« on: July 06, 2015, 07:24:49 PM »
It's been a nice welcome back to BMX for me this week lol.  I went away to college in 08 and haven't ridden at all since until this past week.  This happens today riding home from the local skatepark: http://i.imgur.com/lOe2OsA.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/iHHuVdi.jpg

Also, riding in Asic running shoes is scary as hell.

Registered in 2006, this is my first topic.  This may be some sort of record.

You sure you dont have any type of warrenty on these? Seems like lifetime is standard...

I would say Odyssey thunderbolt. Probably the lightest and strongest cranks out there.

I emailed Fly last night and they told me to go to the shop I bought them at with my receipt.  That receipt is long gone and the shop is shut down lol.

Plus that 41 Thermal warranty would be nice in a situation like this.

When I broke my Fly cranks I replaced them with Odyssey Thunderbolts. Couldn't be happier.

check Dan's for blemished cranks (discounted)
also it wouldn't hurt to email fly and ask to purchase a crash replacement on a new/new-old stock set of cranks if you are trying to save $$

otherwise go for odyssey's. Mine are rock solid.

seen so many fly cranks do this. any straightforward 22mm splined crank should be decent enough these days i reckon
this year i am going to have sex and it will be awesome

My profile columns are going quite great. Bought them as soon as they came out. You should be right with éclat, profile or odyssey. I just picked tue one that had the nicest shape really. Profile also have their Ss cranks on sale to for 150 I believe. Would grab myself a set if the exchange rate wasn't fucked at the moment

The strongest I had was Tibia. I cracked two pairs, but with both I managed to pedal back home, they didnt snapped clean off. Just cracked but were still attached to pedal spindle. They never bent which is a big plus. And in the same period I would bend/snap few pairs of other mor egeneric cranks. (Im cracking usually dozens of crank pairs a year). I highly recommend them. But nothing is indestructable.

Currently Im on Thunderbolts, so far so good. Plus warranty makes them probably the best choice.

I will try Maverics for fun too, as I bent badly three pairs of Powerbites back in the days.

I would simply replace the left arm, but new ones are invest cast. It will work too i guess, if you don't mind the difference.
