And then there's the f*cking Howitzer BB >: They need to convert to 2 piece.

the-k-man (Apr 12, 2009 at 13:31)

i don't think its possible for 3 piece cranks to be stiffer/stronger than two piece cranks, but ya the new saints are sick.

core559 (Apr 12, 2009 at 15:50)

there is no way for 3 peice to be near the strength and stiffness of a 2 piece without waying almost a pound more including BB. take a set of howitzers for example. same weight as the xt cranks. at a comparable strength and stiffness. but then you have to add on the 300g+ BB. then it's not even worth it.

im sorta dumb about cranks and i always thought there was only a 1 pice and a 3 pice whats so good about a 2 pice?

core559 (Apr 12, 2009 at 19:44)

on a two piece crank, the spindle is attatched to the non-drive side crank, and goes through the bottom bracket to the drive side crank. super light design, all the shimano cranks are this way. truvativ (sram) uses a three piece where the bottom bracket bearing cups and the spindle are one package and the two cranks are another. look at the websites. you'll see.

AqueousBeef (Apr 12, 2009 at 19:47)

The Stylos use 2 piece actually. I really don't see why they don't just do it across the board...

How good are those E2200s for DJ and street? I suppose if you're smooth, you would be fine, but what if you're still learning?

Both wheels are pricey, but I like that the E2200 is a bit lighter.... and cheaper.

Looks like it's going to be a killer time. Have fun, gentlemen.

Hey we might just get our wish from sram next year in the form of two piece cranks ... Looks like there's a boa kbps pair on Sam hill's ride.

the-k-man (Apr 12, 2009 at 10:24)

well theres an E at the front and two 0s at the back so...i think you can guess.

brule (Apr 12, 2009 at 10:46)

Both - the DH bikes are rocking 2350s and the DJ and AM bikes are on 2200s.
