yeah, 28t is big. I'll never sway from profile/ti spindle. just plain reliable.
I'm with this guy, my buddy rides Demolitions with a Ti spindle. It's hard to beat in the weight department. If you prefer a steel spindle the oddyssey wombolts are not far behind.
Wombolts are teh hotness.
good luck getting 180mm these days...
Huh? Profile, Madera, Fly, Odyssey & Demolition all make 180's...
hey leethal, profile, madera, and odsy were a given, but I guess it was my bad stereotype writing some of the others off... I picked up a set of the Demolition Medials last spring for my SplinterMX solely because they are one of the few that was available in 170mm... I guess I never check into 180 sizes but recalled them being seldomly available.
It sounds to me like the Medials would be your prime choice there bcd, they are light and smooth in the ankle area (hence the "medial" name). They aren't any narrower than most 3pc 19mm cranks, but the spindle boss is has a smooth panel by it so you don't catch yourself. Shadow torrids might be even better on the ankle with the rounded outer design, but they are not available in anything other than 175...

Fly cranks FTW...773 grams excl berings.
I'm not a 48 spindle fan, but I am going to try them out next....
They exist in a 180 version, rare but they do...
If you want to make sure your cranks stand up to abuse, this is also your crank of choice, Fly testperiodes and product development are a long proces, mabye too long, but they usually get the end result in first try when it's released.

are you being sarcastic about the Solid Bikes cranks? or are they releasing a new set-up?
I remember they had some a year or so ago (probably more around the tank bmx era), well, their cranks at quick glance almost looked like the new Fly cranks, but without a taper near the pedal boss and had a pierced tube for that to make it sta, but, the killer was that I think they even had a 1" (25.4mm) spindle and bottom bracket bearings!!!!!
holy humongous! I have a pic of them somewhere, just not on this computer... interesting just to see.also, on a side note, the Demolition Medials with a ti spindle are lighter than both the Fly cranks and Wombolt...
