Get a used set of Profiles. Lighter than most other bmx cranks and a proven crank at that. Other than that I would say WTP but those are kinda heavy and pricey.

you looking for euro BB or BMX? A buddy of mine has an old set of profiles he might sell. Otherwise I'd second the motion on the X-drives. Unreal has them for a steal.

theoretically, wouldn't it be possible to use BMX cranks meant for a BMX BB with a euro shell, as long as you had the right spindle? couldn't you just use the same spindle with euro cups?

I asked because I didn't know what type of bike he is using. My buddy has a euro BB for those cranks. To have to buy a BMX BB would eliminate the "cheap" from the equation.

get these FSA Smack Daddy as strong as Profile SS but cheaper at only $80 with sealed bearings and 3 tools!

they have 22mm splined cromoly axle and weigh 1,5kgs for cranks and b/b assembley!
