Purchased At:
Dans Comp
Strengths:
Everything! these cranks have nothing wrong with them. buy them, because you'll have them forever. I've been dirt jumping and racing with these for more than five years, and they're super strong and stiff- no flex at all!
Weaknesses:
nothing besides the fact that they can rust while coated in mud and/or rain, but you can always polish that right off.
Similar Products Used:
redline flight 2's
Bike Setup:
Scwhinn ProStock 24 w/ Alumilites, DX/Sun CR18 wheels, and red Donny Robinson Powerlite Powercurve bars
Bottom Line:
Buy them and you wont need another set of cranks forever. Like I said, I've been using mine for 5+ years now, and I've had no problems whatsoever. Buy it. No matter what type of rider you are, you won't be disappointed. (lifetime warranty too, on the arms and spindle bending or breaking)

Strengths:
strong, lighter than most, NO FLEX, sealed bearing cups
Weaknesses:
I needed a special spacer for my kink light sprocket to fit, it would have been nice if the spacer is included for 150 bucks...
Similar Products Used:
crap.
Bike Setup:
98 DK Six Pack, Profile 3pc w/kink light sprocket, Federal Fork, Mosh Digital Stem, stock bars and wheels, Tioga street tires
Bottom Line:
don't accept the imitations, splurge for the real Profile 3pc, they're worth it.
plus you can get a lifetime warranty on the crankarms and spindel(not the bearing cups though)

Good for weekenders but needs less flex and aluminum tubing. Very strong though. I prefer them to a hardcore thrasher. Pretty good. Bearings are popping after 3 fixings and sized spindle spacer.
