Thats just shit , to all good , it was at the end of the Ride :S

I'd say: shit post and shit pics!

in other words: what cranks are they? how long have you been running them? without knowing this, we can't really help or judge whether those cranks are shit or not!

Monty 165mm , since 2003 ..

Sorry for bad post , had a bit of hurry

[karla/kaarel]

if they broke after 5years of riding then they must be quite good cranks.

:rofl: unless you're 5'1 100lb and ride once a month, 5 years is alot.

[stefan]

how did it break ? did it start with scratchs ?

[TrialDude]

Dropped 6pallets , gapped 120cm , and BANG ...
Bought the bike , and recived it 3.christmas day , and have riding it quite much after that ..
The bike was not to much used , but they did break in the middle ...
I say these are shit ... :P

thats how my xalp cranks broke, but mine was on a gap. whoops.

[beastoftheeast]

i seem to hear of a lot of monty cranks breaking? :dunno:

[TrialDude]

monty sucks at making parts ...
No one feel angry to me for saying it?

[Edge]

I no feel angry to you. I no feel angry to nothing.

You ride five year old parts and they suck for breaking.

U sucken @ ride eh bicicle

[CriPPle]

Um... dude, they're X-Alp cranks. They're steel, come on (almost) the cheapest trials bike on the market and are designed to be ridden by little kids and beginners.

So yes, in comparative terms, they are 'shit'. But to get 5 years out of them is in fact very impressive.

Put it this way: to buy the FFW Monty cranks, plus an ISIS BB, plus a fixed 12T rear pinion, will cost you about half of what that whole bike would have cost you brand new.

Therefore I wouldn't be insulting a company's capability to manufacture parts when you are using their cheapest componentry and, despite that, actually got an extremely good lifetime out of them.

Sorry, sometimes I forget that logic isn't welcome here :nuts:
