this arrived in the post yesterday (sorry Melon...) and I am getting my head round a build. I am thinking about going for Truvativ Omniums as I think they will suit the frame and they are meant to be super stiff. However I have heard reports of crank slap on frames with thicker chain stays. The Hinde frame has mahusive stays. They are rectangular though, so maybe they will be thinner then an oval of the same size, hmm.
any thoughts or advice for better cranks?
I'm curious about to see this built up. You can't find too much coverage of this bike on the internet right now...
Omniums would suite the look of the frame, The problem with the omniums is that the spider arms are quite thick and touch the chainstays and not the ring or the bolts. Often you can file the arms down a bit too make them fit, maybe they have covered the issue on the newer cranks. Also watch out that you get the new 2011 SRAM team bb which is way better than the old one.
