I have them on my we the people BMX. I'm shit and a pussy so not pushing them, but they seem fine. Mine are single bolt not spline but I'm sure you've read all the stuff about single bolt vs splined on fixed.

pretty heavy, tbh I wouldn't bother buying bmx cranks not for a bmx unless you plan to do tricks in which case you should get a bmx...go with profile race cranks ftw!

there wank...for everything. profiles are expensive but with a lifetime warranty you will only have to buy them once. my bmx profiles are 4 years old and still straight.

Salt is WeThePeople's parts line as used on their OTP complete bikes. I've heard mixed things, I had a friend who rode them hard and needed new cranks after 4 months but then I also know a guy who had Salt cranks for over 2 years. If you do go for them, try and get ones with sealed bearings at least!

Primo Hollowbites are cheaper than Profiles aren't they?

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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