In this video, I discussed the best BMX cranks on the market, focusing specifically on the Odyssey Calibur cranks and how they compare to the Demotion rig. I provided an overview of cranks and their importance in BMX riding, highlighted the features and benefits of the Odyssey Calibur cranks, and compared them to the Demotion rig, offering my personal recommendations on which option is best for different types of BMX riding.
- The role of cranks in a bike's drivetrain and how they transfer power from the rider's legs to the rear wheel
- The features of the Odyssey Calibur cranks, including their high-quality, heat-treated 4130 chromoly steel construction and unique, one-piece design
- The benefits of the Odyssey Calibur cranks, including their strength, durability, and reduced weight and increased stiffness, which make them ideal for BMX riding
- A comparison of the Odyssey Calibur cranks to the Demotion rig, including a discussion of the pros and cons of each option
- Personal recommendations on which cranks are best for different types of BMX riding, based on factors such as rider experience level, riding style, and budget
Thunderbolt cranks have a feature the no other cranks have. The wedges acts as a tension releave and give it sort of increased elasticity, it's not like those 48 splice that trust all the elasticity in their arms. I weight 107kg (235 pounds), I bent some 19mm axels in the past, but thunderbolt is hanging for 4 years and still going.
and how about now ? still good ?
@@omzxa8415I believe eventually it will fail , but it is running fine so far.
im currently running eclat spires, i love the design on them, where the spindle joins the crank it doesnt stick out at all really so theyre great for crankflips, tailwhips, and anything where you are catching your bike.
I just got some 160s for a good price, hope to bang them in as soon as the BB nm sprocket come in.
All your vids are great. Old head here getting back into it. When my mission crank breaks, used bike, going with Odyssey for replacement. Nothing but good words from friends that run them.
I find WTP Logic and Fiend Segment cranks to be great and can confidently recommend them.
I just bought WTP logics as upgrade. Can definitely recommend them also.
My stock gt cranks lasted 2 years, I case everything and it broke at the pedal weld. BSD substance XL V2 is what replaced them. Right size 170 mm available when I needed it
I’ve rode Eclat Spires and Odyssey Caliburs. Both have been really solid for me in what I’ve done. The Spires are a bit more uniform to the sprocket, whereas the Caliburs definitely stay tighter. Every once in awhile I have to loctite the bolt on the Spires. Never had that issue on the Odysseys
Not sure if profile cranks are made for vert or street, they're made for racing I do believe.
Funny how profile cranks still crack. They were big back in the mid school days and they had the same problem.
I still run my primo power bite v3 super strong , fsa makes some good 48 spline crank sets I have a pair of nasty boys
Eclat Onyx v2's do the job perfect for all around use.
Animal Akimbos are 💯
What’s the best crank to run that is not hard to peddle I’m getting a kink bmx 20inch and I don’t know if there going to be stiff or not and I can’t afford a crank after I get the bike but I bet it’ll be easier to peddle
What's your opinion on WTP legacy crank? 2.5 piece
That's y i get anchored cranks. I have had the same problem.
Eclat spire cranks in 160mm are goated
what about salt cranks
Dr sues talking about cranks lol
I've been told kink pillar cranks last forever
Thunderbolts! You're welcome🤙
I am still running excaliburs🤣
Caliber cranks are ridiculously reliable.
Merritt battle cranks have a lifetime warranty and spline
denden likes rig cranks 2, hes a beefy lip ringed boi.
Any spindle other than spline makes for garbage cranks. Thunderbolt are a stupid design with too many pieces. They look like shit too.
They are strong and easy too work with. Installing and disassembly 👍🏻
@@DuhYaThink Compared to what? they’re way more complicated than normal three piece or 2 1/2 piece. Just because you paid money for them, doesn’t mean they’re great.
@@Bobby_Uterus They are really simple. In my experience. There is a wedge and 2 crank arms,one with a spindle welded to it. They work for me. Too each their own 🤷♂️👍🏻
@@DuhYaThink They’re easy enough to work on, but there’s no way that they’re a simpler design than a splined 2 1/2 or three piece. Anything with more physical hardware in the design is more complicated to service or repair. Do they work any better than a traditional three piece or 2 1/2? It was one of those stupid designs Jorge French came up with. Same guy that brought you the elementary stem and those awesome odyssey Director forks that changed BMX. Lol
@@Bobby_Uterus Whatever works for ya bud ✌🏼ride and have fun
I'm so glad I don't ride hard enough to break anything. But my weight is going to be pushing that limit lol
