Hi guys so like the tile said I just won some Nitrous Shifter Cranks the color is matte purple on youtube the guy was doing a giveaway last week. I was the lucky pick today I'm so stoked that I won a pair of free cranks the cranks are brand new he brought from acebmx. I just want to know are those Nitrous Shifter Cranks any good.

They serve well for budget cranks. I would have to say they might be worse than stock 48-spline cranks, but who knows? Depends on how hard you ride, really.

I'm a Beginner so I might not ride hard I just got to wait and see. But I will also be going to my local bike shop to buy parts. Should i keep the cranks or should I buy some better one from my local shop you know that they might recommend me to get better cranks and not recommend those Nitrous Shifter Cranks.

These cranks are way good for beginner. When you start doing tricks off sets and 4-5 ft drops, then you may reconsider.

That's what reviews are for.
They are decent for the price though.

My old LBS had them and I literally saw 4 pairs behind the counter in the span of two months, snapped clean in half. 3 of 4 which looked to be in about 8/10 condition before breaking. I would personally rather ride stock 8s cranks than those but im sure theyre decent for a beginner.
I dont know who owned the ones at my LBS so I cant say if they were hard riders or not

Dave- I haven't seen that many review on these cranks i see like two or three in vitalbmx review section and other on fourms on this site and other bmx fourms. It like mixed review and some people like them and other people don't like them.
Tim- I hope they don't snap on me knock on wood. Since I'm a begnnier they should be fine.
