Profile's or the Deity Vendettas. I'm sure you would be satisfied with both. You just need a euro bb for the profiles.

eewwww dumbass

, i hate how every mountainbiker thinks primo's are traditional square taper and therefore suck, when in reality it's the strongest spindle crankarm interface in existance short of welding the arms on.

Hahah agreed with coasteraddict. Primo has one of the strongest systems.

Fly's are super light. Just make sure you get V2's so they don't snap.

Odyssey wombolts - super strong, light and lifetime warranty.

Have fun paying the $250 for them, but you asked for the BEST.

I wouldn't say Wombolts are the best. Super prone to cracking. If you want the best Primo hollowbite with a Ti spindle would be light/last a long ass time.

v1s were super prone to cracking, the v2s (the ones currently sold) have a beefed up spindle boss and have had far less cracking incidents.

Okay, good to hear. However, the Fly V2's(also fixed from previous "quick release pedal boss system") are lighter then the Wombolts.

I second that. Primo Hollowbites with Ti spindle! So light, so strong.
