German engineering.
Anywho your wasting a fuck ton if you get profiles. I wasn't all that good nor am I now, but my profiles flexed soooooo bad that it dented my chain stays. One day they got wobble and shit hit the fan, like a week later I jumped up a four set and my crankset exploded, my sprocket bolt ripped out and my spindle bolt broke. Maybe mine were used in a satanic ritual, but they were fucking awful. Not the only pair I've seen flex in the area though.
I seek progression, not perfection.

Yeah, I've heard way too much about profiles having flex...
Everyone saying they are flexy as fuck.
I don't want flex at all, i like a stiff solid feeling bike...
What other cranksets around $185 AUD would you guys suggest?

What mailorder do you prefer?
I looked on Strictly and there's a set of WTP Royals on there for $179.99 AUD and I've heard good things about them.

alloy cranks are the stiffest like the shadow noctis(i have them tbey kick ass, and ill never go back to t
chromolly cranks) and th primo hollobite( they get allot of good reviews) but if you dont want alloy go for subrosa bitchens or domething like that

I have been running my Redline Device G7's for a year and a half with no issues. 22mm spindle, zero flex, and I'm a 250lb grown man. I jump to flat all the time. Great cranks.
