These look awesome, Not only are they the strongest cranks on the market, they are also the lightest, I'm already saving my pennies

Strongest and lightest? I am throwing away Profile Cro-mo and XTR cranksets...

DHS · Jun 23, 2006

um, no Middleburns are still lighter...
nice e-spec btw..

Too bad they aren't making 165mm arms.

That seems like a gross oversight on their part if that is the case.

For i second there I thought I might be back on truvativ, its still ganna be middleburn though

Bicyclist · Jun 23, 2006

The cranks are under 500g if I'm not mistaken. The warranty blows but I haven't seen too many broken so it doesn't really matter.

Radarr · Jun 23, 2006

If I could get them and be able to replace them every time I bent/broke them, I'd totally rock the Eastern Titaniums. 613 grams for the entire crank/BB setup.

Pretty sure they're about 540g with the spider. 800g - 900g all up with BB. Great cranks.

again,

funny how you don't see Arcadian spamming every single 2007 SRAM product thread with a link to Pinkbike? And if you ask me, his write-ups were way more in depth and detailed than any other 2007 SRAM article I’ve read so far…

that is all..

well
realistically the middleburns warranty is a joke though
but since we're on the topic how much do middleburn cranks and a bb weigh?

Because a lifetime warentee is a joke

Bicyclist · Jun 23, 2006

It is when it doesn't cover splines, tapers, or threads smartass. :nuts: And it's warranty.

My plan is that if I ever damage any of the non covered parts I'm just gonna put the crank in a vise and hit it with a sledgehammer and send it in for warranty. Don't tell Middleburn though!

Bicyclist · Jun 23, 2006

Good luck. Basically the only part covered is the middle of the crank. Maybe the name is a hint on how to utilize their warranty. :evil:

Rik · Jun 24, 2006

Not only that, but they're covered for breaking, not bending. I don't know anything about metals or what they use, but know that some cranks (ie, Deore) will bend and bend back and bend again and never break, whereas others will break quickly without bending much... so what if they're stiff as licorice, then who cares about a breaking warranty?
That's all uninformed speculation, but just using it to point out that in the bicycle industry warranty isn't worth the electrons it's written with.

SteezyWeezy · Jun 24, 2006

those are sexy! i liked them to begin with, but hollow? oh man

lonewolfe · Jun 24, 2006

Damn, Sram is taking over the world! I can't believe all the killer products they have coming out for 2007. Unbelievable. I want a Totem bad!
