I just received these this afternoon. These are an 83mm BB (for my 7point), but are also available in 68/73.

287g non-driveany chance of getting a weight on the arms only?
so wait, are those an external bb style crank ?
They are BMX-style three piece cranks, like Profiles.so wait, are those an external bb style crank ?
They are BMX-style three piece cranks, like Profiles.
they do look good.I've been riding those cranks since thursday, their sweet!
The set-up on these cranks was the longest/biggest pain in building my whole bike...however, once their set-up, they become the stiffest, lightest, and strongest cranks I've ever used. Not to mention, Eric and Sadie were a huge help in getting things situated.
P.S. They're not external, they're internal BB's.
there's no play in them at all. The first crankset/bb I've ever had that didnt have even a little bit of side to side play in them. These things spin perfectly, and dont wobble. Perfect.they do look good.
but how do you know they're the strongest you've ever used
if you've only been riding them for five days?
haha sorry, i was being an advocate.there's no play in them at all. The first crankset/bb I've ever had that didnt have even a little bit of side to side play in them. These things spin perfectly, and dont wobble. Perfect.
*IMO*
Its all good, someone has to do it.haha sorry, i was being an advocate.
i'm glad they're working out well.
especially on that sick build of yours.
nothing like a new smooth riding bike.
so what were the complications that came up when installing?
961g According to Sicklines, thats the 73mm version with Steel spindle.what is the weight of the whole set?
really? care to show any pictures? i have been destroying deity cranks for them since they first came to the market 5 years ago and have never had an arm or spindle go out on me. I think last time i checked there were only 2-3 broken arms in the world and they were all the old old modelsThese cranks certainly do look nice, and the specs sound good too. But I've never really been a fan of deity. hopefully the vendettas' are a departure from their (in my opinion) form-over-function-mentality. although all parts, especially cranks, have a certain failure rate, I've seen more diety (original) cranks crack than any other. but I will hold out hope that diety can bring me back into their camp. I'll see what the results are.
Not too many people hit bigger DJ trails than me and my crew on a daily basis. A couple of us are rockin Deity metal for a long time with no crank failures.These cranks certainly do look nice, and the specs sound good too.

Deity's were never meant to be bombproof. Do you know how heavy the guy was, his track record for cracking cranks, or if he's broken the profiles? I've seen broken/bent profiles. Fact is, all parts can break.yes really.
I don't personally have any pictures as they weren't my cranks. I've never run deity cranks on my bike. the person I was referring to cracked two sets of deity's at the weld where the crank arm slides on the spindle. one was his original set then he cracked the warranty set, at which point he switched to profiles. I doubt that there have only be two sets of broken arms. my first post was just my two cents and feel free to discount me since I don't have the pictures to back it up.
i can back this up. the person who broke them is a friend of ours. i have seen the cranks break up close.yes really.

His name is Daniel, now living in Chicago, moved here from the Cezch republic 3 years ago. he's one of my good friends, I personally saw the latest set of deity's that he cracked when I was with him at rays last year. maybe he was mearly unlucky, I do know a lot of guys that ride deity's with no problems. To answer your other question he probably only weighs 170-180 not a big guy, just your normal average dude. to the best of my knowledge he hasn't cracked any other set of cranks. It wasn't my intention to turn this thread into an atack on deity cranks, this was just my experience with them.Deity's were never meant to be bombproof.

I'd fathom a guess you don't even know the guy's name who "cracked two sets of deity's" and just saw it on Pinkbike and are just regurgitating information you have no experience with.
Fair enough, he's one of the few then. Sounds pretty average weight, might just be bad luck.His name is Daniel, now living in Chicago, moved here from the Cezch republic 3 years ago. he's one of my good friends, I personally saw the latest set of deity's that he cracked when I was with him at rays last year. maybe he was mearly unlucky, I do know a lot of guys that ride deity's with no problems.

I agree, one more big thanks out to Eric and Sady for hooking me up with cranks right away.im pretty sure thats who eric said broke the first set of cranks, didnt know he went through a second set. I spent about 4 hours (mostly removing old stuck bb cups, pedals, and chain wheels from old cranks) installing vendettas on 4 of my bikes. the weight between the new and old crank arms is totally noticeable in your hands and you can see all the work and revision that has gone into them. I like the idea of 36 spline over 48, bigger splines with more contact area. plus they look sick as hell. thanks eric and sadi
Just search for a BMX chainring...can anybody send me a link to a 25T chainring that would fit on these cranks
