My friend is in need of a new crank around the $150 range. What do you think would be good for him. He does a lot of dirtjumps, some drops, some (but not much) cross country, and downhill. Weight doesn't matter to him, he just wants something that can take a lot of hard abuse. Thanks.

Ah grasshopper, I see you are new here. You will soon see that a price limit has no effect on replies. Look for posts asking for a good freeride bike under $2500, and see how quickly someone replies recommending a Foes Fly.

Sorry about that..I didnt know Saints were that exspensive ..but their still the best.forget race face!

Rit now i got the alpha drive FSA cranks and there an xc crank and on hard landing they bend more and more, so i was thinking how are the FSA V-Drive cranks there DH cranks and there still at a reasonable price wit rings (160) if any one could give me some insight on the crank or the race face prodigy DH cranks it will be appreciated.

Warren, I have about two years of riding on my Prodigy cranks and they have been flawless, I do tend to go through B.B.'s fairly quick though. for the cash spent on them I'm sure they will not disappoint you.

Race Face Prodigy DH ISIS: they look friigen awesoome and there in the 150 (give or take pricerange) so i think ill get those next....haha thats like the 1 thing raceface makes thats not real expensive

FSA V-Drive Extreme's are good, or if you want much much stronger without caring abuot weight go for a set of FSA Pounders which are extremely strong but heavy as anything. Either will enable you to use your ISIS bb, or you can go for a 3-piece BMX setup for ultimate strength.

Just some ideas

What a bunch of week cranks!

Steel is a mans crank. Aluminaium is for sissys.

Your reply is weak!

You are right Alunimun is weak!

Steal is what Conan used to kill the big snake with. Then he got that other fool and chopped hes head off too. Steal is forever............

There are more options if you consider used in the classified. I've seen RaceFace Turbines and Next LPs for around $150 - $200.
