Lasco cranks are great, had mine for over a year and they have been on 4 different bikes, never had a problem with them
id just say get some better tyres, always worth it in the long run, getting a flat on a cold, wet and windy day is never fun and something that will grip is always a good thing through the winter to, Rando's are on sale on wiggle at the moment, get 2 of those! you wont regret it.
Cool, cheers, might just upgrade to marathons now...
And thanks for the review on the lassos, might sped the tender more and get them
Cheers!
