im thinking of putting on a bontrager crank on my 820. is the quality good on all of them or do i have to get the expensive ones to notice a ride difference?

The ones that came on my GF's Poprad according to the shop owner are actually Truvativ cranks w/ Bontrager name on it.

Kieth? Bontranger is a major HQ mountain bike metal and parts designer.

On par with Ritchey I guess. Same era.

Nice stuff, I'm wanting his 'Crowbar' DH handlebars.

Better than Shimano usually.

They wont break easily, and they will be light. Ya! Expensive? Maybe a bit more, but cheaper alloy metals break, wear faster. :mad:

Yes, good stuff. :)
