I've finally got my money ( more info here -> http://www.vitalbmx.com/forums/General-BMX-Talk,2/I-think-Ive-got-scammed,1292243?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ForumTopicReply) after I emailed them I will start a dispute they refunded me.

I was going to buy the Demolition Revolt cranks but now when I think about it maybe I should get some other cranks?

I was thinking about:

Demolition Medians v2 ( 30 euro cheaper which is a lot for me but I've heard they break easily)
Premium 1948 cranks (I've heard they are good but they don't have sprocket bolt and their warranty statement sin't appealing)
Subrosa Bitchin
Eclat Tibias
Dartmoor Flare 2013 (cheaper than the other cranks but there isn't many reviews on them)
Mutiny Cinch (They are light as hell - that's where I'm concered xD)

or do you guys have any other recommendations?
thanks!

Thunderbolts. Strongest cranks you can buy, the best interface, the best warranty, the ability to use Socket Drive, and only 27.8 ounces for the bolt drive version.

I've 170mm Éclat Tibias that have been going strong since 2010. They're nice and stiff too. No complaints. Only thing I did was powder coat them white (they were black). I used to run Profiles, but I'm now a fan of Éclat.

What's up with the clutch thing? It looks sketchy to me, wouldn't normal 48 spindle design be more rigid?

It's a wedge. You put the wedge on the spindle, and when you put the arm on to the wedge, it tightens it all down and holds it in place. It is a much more efficient, simple, durable, and easier to use interface than 48 spline. I might go into more detail in another post but I'm not feeling it right now haha.

First of all the mutiny cinch cranks will be solid because they're mutiny and secondly thunderbolts are the way forward if you can get them in the colour you want the only reason i wont be getting them is that they don't come in chrome

Can't make up my mind sad

Demolition Revolt vs Subrosa Bitchin?

Thunderbolts are way too expensive :/
