Madera's are made by Profile, so I'd go for them. And I concur with bmx2478.

Agree.
Madera cranks will be decent as they are made by profile.
I think (if memory is correct) they are a fair bit heavier though.
I would still trust them over pretty much any other set of cranks on the market though.

get a BB kit with your cranks.... just make sure that they have SEALED bearings
and eastern isnt crap... theyre just not as good as some other companies that charge almost twice as much for a part thats almost exactly the same.

I strongly advise that you do some research before making a call like that.

ok so theyre not as nice as a set of profiles, but theyre better than any stock parts you'll get. plus i dont usually have problems with my cranks so i like to go with decent ones that are a little bit cheaper.
PRIMO22
05-17-08, 12:19 PM
Cheap is good. I also want pedals to go with it I like the Primo Tenderizers. Any other suggestions?

what a load of crap...what kind of bike do you have that your stock cranks are so good?
and i wouldnt go with tenderizers unless you have like size 20 shoes... theyre huge and heavy

There's nothing wrong with tenderisers.
Don't be hatin' on a classic!

the tenderizers are huge... thats why they have that name. theyre like huge meat tenderizers. maybe YOU need to do some research before making YOUR calls.

05-23-08, 05:40 PM
Are you kidding me?
Have you ever even seen a pair of tenderisers?
They honestly aren't that big.
I'm looking at mine right now and they are the same size as any other pedal.

Maybe they're called Tenderizers because by the time you're done your shins are like tenderized meat. Just maybe.

05-23-08, 05:50 PM
Haha yeah, looking at my shins I can definately relate to that name.

yea i have seen the tenderizers. i dont know if your looking at some stupid slimmed down version, or maybe yours are so old that theyre all worn down, but the tenderizers are the biggest pedals that ive ever seen. theyre like as big as my hand, which none of the other pedals ive ever ridden were.
