Éclat's New Cranks

Is it me... or does that spindle look somewhat on the shorter side?

But overall the cranks look awesome, not sure whether or not I want to get these or the Noctis Cranks.....

I love my Tibias. These things just look ugly to me, and I've always preferred the stiffness from a chromoly crank.

I saw this on The Merged, very good read.


At first I was skeptical, as I thought the spindle boss on the crank arms were just aluminum.. I thought "WTF are they retarded?" But then I read how it uses a steel spline insert, and thought that's pretty neat, especially how it presses in there. I hope they did the same with the pedal boss steel insert, otherwise when you tighten it up, the insert is just gonna move around under higher torque.

I'm not interested in buying them, I'll stick to chromoly cranks, but this is a really good design & they seem pretty damn strong too.

Idk. I wanted em but at 230lbs I think the flex would be killer.

That was a good read, I've always owned chromoly cranks, i do have a set of Noctis sitting in my tool box i might try out.

They looks pretty cool. My friend was interested in them but I talked him out of them and he got akimbos. They look amazing, but alloy/ aluminum cranks are either a go or no go. Plus, they're brand new so I said it wouldn't be the smartest idea trying a complete new idea.

The kind of look like powerbites
