The Shadow Conspiracy Torrid Cranks
INFO:
The Shadow Conspiracy has been working on designing a crank for the past 2 years that can meet the demands of BMX without over building or sacrificing strength for weight.
Shadow’s first step was to develop box shaped arms which create a stronger crank arm, less prone to twisting or bending compared to a tubular crank.
The second step was to make the pedal / spindle bosses and the BackBone all one unit. This reduces the amount of welds in the high stress areas of the crank arm.
Shadow decided that making a one unit BackBone and bosses creates perfectly aligned pedal and spindle bosses, ensuring strength and alignment. (Patent Pending)
SPECS:
-4130 chromoly outer plate
-4140 BackBone welded and 100% heat treated
-Heat treated 4140 chromoly 19mm 48 spline spindle
-Lengths: 175mm Crank arms and spindle as set (bottom brackets sold separately)
-Weight:
Per arm: 9.8oz
Complete set: 30.6oz
MSRP: $?
Featured color: white
Other colors:
black-
dark red-
green-
baby blue-
brown-

these look really cool cause the back bone piece is all one with the spindle and pedal bosses

these are a great crank they haven't crewaked or poped or made even a slight problem for me. the way the crank a arms themselves are made it makes for a ereally still feel and they look pretty good to . the shape and finish of they're crank is nice quality. shadow is known for making good parts and they've done it agian with these cranks plus lots of colors too!

I love these cranks, their very light and solid, the only problem is the sprocket bolt they give you goes on a little tight and even with grease it took forever to tighten it all the way in, but other than that this crank is perfect and looks strong too, the torrid BB kit goes nice with it as well

If you broke your cranks, just contact SHADOW through there website and they will take care of anybody that is cool! They have proven customer service! Just be cool about it, and they will be cool back! If you email them and you're an asshole, you might not get anywhere! Personally, I've had my SHADOW cranks for over a year, and no problems!
when are they coming out and how much are they going to be.
