I am thinking about getting these in all honesty, they have wrap welded pedal and spindle bosses, so they should be fine for SOME TIME, I honestly want these because they include the sprocket for the price profiles, and most other cranks.

I am pretty sure a lot of you guys will say no, but more specifically it is either these or this set of cranks

I do not mind the whole combo thing, it just sounds a little more convenient.

I've seen too many Premium cranks snap, include one of my friend's (Snapped on a step up at our old trails). I wouldn't trust them. I would definitely go for the Mutinys. No contest really.

Also, wrap around is not necessarily stronger, in fact non wrapped cranks tend to have much better lateral strength. If you look at Thunderbolts, they don't have wrapped bosses and they're pretty much the strongest cranks you can buy. Obviously Stampy showed they beat all other cranks, but they did even better in a lateral strength test. Of course you cant just take any crank with non wrapped bosses and say they're better, but it is a better design if done properly.

Mutiny. Even the sprocket that comes with is better.
