  • I've have/had rotor, Rinpoch, dds and 75s. Go with dds (my 2p). Rotors, (unless they are the pre 2015 garish model) cant really handle everyday skids. I'd still be running dds on my parallax if I didn't have Rinpoch. Rinpoch is pretty good, the bb is decent and the chainrings are pretty well made. DD's As ellis said, switch out the bb for the ultegra and you're good. I still use the original "crank bolt" just covered with some black tape. It no longer comes loose, it has been around 8 months.

    When you say DDs I assume you mean SG75 DD right. For Rotor they would be the new ones and I could be good with them, I'm not planning to be a hardcore skidder or anything.
    So from your answer I take that your opinion is Rinpoch > Sugino > Rotor?

    I snapped a pair of Miche Primatos, but, in all honesty, I was a total twat on them. I managed to completely fuck up the square taper interface on the non-drive side crank arm, and snap the arm shortly after, all in one day of city riding. (I'd ridden hard on them previously, and this obviously contributed). To be entirely honest, they seem fine on 99% of bikes that they go onto, and im sure that they're okay, but, after my experience, they scare me, if anything.

    See that's the thing, I know myself and my luck, I will very much likely end up in that 1% instead :-)

  • Yeah, I wouldn't recommend them for riding fixed. What scares me about Primatos is not that I snapped them, it's that I managed to strip the square taper, and badly. That square ended up looking like a squircle - and that was just from skidding about on them for 2 months. Single speed, I'm sure they're fine
