i was thinking about putting this into my other crank thread, but decided to start a new one, instead...so...

who all is running Middleburn cranks, and what do you think of them? all they're hyped up to be? how did you get ahold of them, and, if you don't mind, how much did you pay?

(does Ibex typically have a decent stock of them?)

 

[Curb Hucker]

IBEX is no longer the Distributor, there is no current US Distributor right now thats why there a bitch to get a hold of. If you really want some PM me.

Don, in your sig, it's supposed to be http://www.middleburn.co.uk/, not www.middleburn.com





Ya moron

I'm interested in some as well although not too sure after what Don was telling me about his troubles with them. chainreactioncycles.com has some for about $248usd with chainring, spider, bolts, etc.. (atleast that's what the currency conversion was yesterday) I'd still like to find out what people think of them. And of course, if they'd fit on an M3.

Interested in Middleburns PM me. I just sold my last pair 2 weeks ago.

Care to elaborate? Never heard anything but glowing reviews of them.

He said he stripped his out and some other problem. I don't quite recall but I think I'm going to be ordering a set from Brian in the next week or so.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I have probably sold a dozen or so sets and have never seen or heard about a problem with them. I love mine, Don just doesn't know how to wrench on bikes.

Sounds like he lacks some luster on driving too.

hehehe, same here

its the kind of crank you can fit and have complete peace of mind that your not gonna have a problem, as i have said on many occsions, super stiff, super strong, super nice, you really cant go wrong with these bad boys.
i've been running them for about 1 1/2 year plus without one single litle niggle or problem.
