Hey everyone. I have an '06 Specialized P2 with Truvativ Hussefelt Howitzer cranks & bb.... Is there a cheap alternative to these? I keep killing the arms & I'm quickly losing $ as well as patience! I can't just rattle off the specs like alot of riders on here, sorry guys lol, but I'm sure alot of you know about these anyway.... They seem pretty common among DJ & some DH bikes. Does anyone know a cheap alternative to these where I can still run my single chainring? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

If you keep breaking your truvativ cranks...maybe going cheaper isn't best idea because those will probably not last any longer. I love my race face chesters...not too pricy (a bit more than the hussefelts) but they can sure take a beating.

Describe "killing".
I ,myself, have noticed if the spacing wrong with theses BBs, the arms tend to slip. My solution was to remove spacers and tighten down as much as possible before installing arms.

In most cases, this has worked.

in some scenarios, I've just switched to BMX cranks with a 19t Spline. Profile and Perv are my go to's.

Shimano Deore Hollowtech II 2014.
I chose those over the Hussefelt, because the Hussefelt is very expensive and the material is too soft and I just cannot stand the lack of quality of those. Deore comes with a thru axle and are quite ok on weight. They are also 30 Euro cheaper, at least in Germany. For 35 Euro you get brand new Saint pedals. Dilema solved Smile
