The original sugino cranks I've been running on my bike are finally giving up the ghost. Looking to buy a dedicated track crank this time so wondered if people had any advice on what to go for. I've got 120 rear spacing with miche primato hubs (42mm chainline)

Miche primato - nice, strong cranks, don't take 130 rings which is a pain
Sugino RD - nice cranks but bolts and ring are a bit lame i hear??
Stonglight ST-100 - seem like a goo option

Parker's do a couple of cheapo ones at about 50 notes as well. I know this has come up in the past but are there any other options I'm missing??

there are a good few pairs of campy record cranks on ebay USD $ 64 add postage and you have a nice pair of quality cranks for 40 - 50 squid
jump on these and they should work they are meant for dual chainrings but will work with one

My next cranks will probably be Miche. You already have the Miche hubs, so i say stay consistent.

although dicki has a point,

would be a good idea to scout out the old bay for some deals, wish i had done that in hindsight depsite the primatos being super good.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
