Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Paul Royal Flush Pure Cranks Colors?

We are going to be getting in some Paul royal flush Pure cranks- we were thinking the 48 tooth in 165mm and 170mm would be best- agreed?

We also are going to be getting in full gold anodized like this:

Question is- what other anodized color would you guys be interested in seeing?

agreed?



No.
Few people run 48t.
You should know that.

And while were on topic..what do fixed gear bikes and playing cards have in common anyway?

options are 39, 46, 48- we sell twice as many 48 chainrings than 46 so I figured 48 was the right combo


For the playing cards- not sure- maybe they are migrating from spokes to the crankset area- soon to take over seatposts & then who knows what is next- playing cards on handlebars?

Why not just run a BMX crank and some sweet graphic chainrings. Wheee!!!

odd that paul doesn't make a 47 or 49.

It'd be sweet to be able to mix and match and have black arms with a gold ring or vice versa...

We are getting black with black chainring and silver arms with black chainring also

I thought that for a second then I really thought about Paul and all the stuff they make.
Then it was clearly not odd at all.

Bronze anodized would be nice

We were thinking the same- what about green ano or purple? How about powdercoated white? dream with me here...

Green gold blue bronze gold gunmetal grey and a purple

oil slick anodized.

but i don't get why anyone would buy such proprietary cranks 'sides from looks. silly.

Purple here.

so true. it'd be nice to see paul make a normal 144bcd track crank with the royal flush details.

i'd never buy them but green would be cool.

You can attach a playing card to your chainstay with a clothespin so it hits the spoke = motorcycle sounds...

Shouldn't they be the same suit if it's a royal flush?

i'd buy a 48T and I like red with black arms. i've always loved that chainring. Looks cool.

white gets my vote, though i'd not buy it.

+1

I'd love to be able to afford these someday..

For me, I think nice colours would be: Black, White, Gold, Gunmetal Grey, Silver, Bronze, Red, Blue, Green & Purple.

With those, you can get pretty much any colour combo to work. I did them in order of importance (imo) and think that with the right colours and chainring's these would sell well to those with an infinite budget (who seem to be all over the fixie scene). Being able to interchange chainrings would definitely contribute..

I'd kill for a set of these in Gold for my current ride, but Bronze + G.M. Grey would defo go on my next! Pitty I'll never be able to afford them..

They're not that expensive. Especially when you're comparing them against Sugino 75s and you realize you don't need a really expensive BB.

in my opinion, white components are pretty done except for select instances, like when you're building a look 496, cervélo p2t, or bridgestone phm9.

plus you can't anodize white, only ceramic or powder coat.

1/8th inch dude, quit wasting your time.

those chainrings have a habit of taco-ing. If you want to sell paul comp parts, then convince the company to drop the proprietary nonsense and go to 130/144 bcd.

47 tooth or GTFO.

It's all about 47 for street riding for the skid patches...why anybody makes 48 is beyond me.

Maybe because the norm is not skidding?

agreed, if skidding is so much fun why not buy a coaster brake hub..............you can skid all over the place........skidding is an emergency way to stop IMHO and I agree it's fun but not the purpose of a fixed gear

i'd go with red

The cranks look like they belong on a bike for 50¢, ie_rapper style. To each his own.

Hey- anybody heard of this- this is news to me. How about a pic or two to show what you have experienced?


I do agree about standardizing the chainrings, but paul has been around for a long time which makes me feel better about getting replacement parts.

how much are they? i want pink :p

No 47? QQ!

I like gold and green.

How much are you going to sell them for?

Green and purple!

it you want skid patches just run a 17t cog with any chainring combo (except 51t)

We are initially getting all black, silver w/black ring & all gold. They will be $250

hey can someone explain these things to me..
is it a replacable chainring?
or do you have to buy a whole new crankset once the chainring wears down?
