What happened to SICS Sic-ness cranks?
- Thread starter daisycutter
- Start date
I shot Peter a few messages recently with no return. I also thought that they looked sick but they probably will never come out. Bummer
it probably has to due with it being:
heavy
expensive
not the new bb standard
godly
....
basically i cant imagine that the market would support it

Are you serious? They are of a decent weight, (getting numbers now), on par with any quality crankset for price, hell the new saint crankset is $425, run FSA mega external bearings and are a really good looking set of one piece machined aluminum.
The market would definitely support them and many people including myself are waiting for them.
Your an idiot.
SIC-NESS (Not Everyday Standard Stuff) Crankset is USA-MADE!
DH/FR/4X/AM
-165, 170, and 175mm crankarm lengths
-68/73 or 83mm BB spindle lengths
-CNC machined and T-6 heat treated 7050Al arms and spider
-2-piece design guarantees adjustability without compromising strength or weight.
-Removable/replaceable 4-bolt spider
-FSA Mega Exo external BB cups with sealed cartridge bearings.
-Oversized crankarms are durable. Heavily relieved design concentrates strength and stiffness in critical areas.
-24mm oversized, splined 4130 chromoly spindle for increased strength and instantaneous power transfer.
-Colors available: Black or Raw Anodized

i had been waiting since i first seen the proto's. I've given up on them and am betting they never reach production.... too bad
Way too many pointless style curves and stress concentration points. Lots of places where there is extra metal doing nothing, and other spots with sharp inside corners in high stress areas. Don't get me wrong, I'm a CNC machining nut, but only where it's actually useful. An I-beam shape will never be as strong/stiff/light in torsion as a hollow-forged design like shimano.
Also, bolt on spiders often creak.
My 2 cent.

Anyone try these cranks? I cannot find a SIC site any longer.
Are they coming pre-bent now, or do you still have to do that yourself?
their website seems to be running strong
