It's funny that you speak so definitively when you're wrong? They're not all the same. All are low-end entry level and similarly price, $50-60 or so, but not the same. I have the Pake on my bike and Origin-8 on my girl's and both the crank arms and spider are different. Can't speak for the Eighthinch one since I haven't seen it in person, and unlike you, I'm not gonna talk out my ass.
