i woldent go for the primo hollowbite i rode them and i broke a pair.. and few of my friends broke them and bent them in the pedal place so the pedal got out of the place in fakie and shit.. i wold recomend the hollowbite only if you weight like less then 60kilos or so..

hollow bites. i love mine

sherbet (May 30, 2010 at 17:42)

Hollowbites. Devices and medials are also a good option.

darkelement (May 30, 2010 at 17:54)

I was also Considering the Medials as well, i think Ima go with the Hollow Bites

sherbet (May 30, 2010 at 17:56)

Good choice. With ti hardware and spindle they're also the lightest streetable crankset.

I've herd of people stripping the pedal inserts *Cough cough Johntownson and others* I also found this ---> as john has fixed his which makes me belive this is true.

"But apparently the bosses are designed to spin so that retards who can't figure out the reverse thread thing don't strip them immediately.It's also supposed to protect against stripping due to over-tightening.

Unfortunately, retards then attempt to undo the pedals the wrong way, spin the bosses, and assume that the cranks are stripped and post about it on the internet."

You'll only strip the inserts if you're a hack. That's the absolutely only way to do it. *CoughcoughJOHNCough*

You won't regret getting them.

johntownson (May 30, 2010 at 20:03)

I didn't strip them you retard, the insert just came loose. But a little red loctite fixed that.

johntownson (May 30, 2010 at 20:05)

Also, you can NOT strip the threads that hold the insert on by tightening the pedals. If you see how they are kept from rotating you would see that the tightening of the pedals will NOT interfere with the inserts threading.

sherbet (May 30, 2010 at 20:06)

Some people have. The arms are aluminum so if you're hack enough you can actually damage the interface.

johntownson (May 30, 2010 at 20:10)

I would think the arm would snap before you would rip the threads out but its possible. But that has nothing to do with what happened to me. My inserts just simply came loose.

sherbet (May 30, 2010 at 20:13)

Aluminum is a fair soft metal, and steel and pretty easily chew it out. Dunno what happened on your crankset so I can't say much.

darkelement (May 30, 2010 at 20:23)

7075 Aluminum is definitely not soft enough to be stripped that easily...Just look at the Race Altas cranks, there 7075 Aluminum and they don't even run inserts, Pure pedal to Aluminum contact never herd of one striping...

my mate just got the fits and has already bent them slightly, and he never bent his stock ones, and ive never heard of hollowbites breaking

dury21 (May 30, 2010 at 18:34)

yoh max hows ur foot doing?

darkelement (May 30, 2010 at 20:17)

Still cant walk...going to doctors tomorrow to have X-rays,il be back to riding in 2 weeks TOPS, it's definitely not broken, but One - Four of the tendiont's might be fractured, Stretched or Severely sprained...

insanebiker661 (May 30, 2010 at 19:09)

hollowbites! fit cranks are shit iv snapped 3 pairs.

Benperrier (May 30, 2010 at 17:51)

Hollowbite rules...

HAROF2 (May 30, 2010 at 17:58)

get profiles because u get lifetime warrnty and 1 out of 259 chances they will break,so profile is the way to go.

darkelement (May 30, 2010 at 18:04)

Profiles are Over priced to shit,and aren't really all that light, or reliable.

HAROF2 (May 31, 2010 at 4:44)

well profile has been out longer for crank than most other company,so i think they know something about cranks,and they give u lifetime warrenty.go on ebikestop.com there the cheapest u can get them for besides me,becuz i know matt coplan a profile.
