Getting a new crankset for my fixie need help
Hello guys i bought my first fixie recently and i just love it but now im running on 44/17 and i have quite strong legs so im constantly running over 9000 rpms and im getting sick of it..what would you recommend me getting ? i would like a 48t and i was thinking about getting SRAM Omniums but i dont think theres a point getting them on a frame like mine ( View image: bike ) so yeah what would you recommend me getting ? What about SRAM S300 with gxp bracket ? thank you for your answers 
And also the omniums had problems when they just wouldnt fit..will these fit ? i took some pictures of her : Postimage.org / gallery - IMG 20150830 161346, IMG 20150830 161407, IMG 20150830 161418

You probably just need to tighten the bottom bracket, crank arms and chainring bolts. That will usually stop all the noises. But if you really want to change the crankset, then just go for it instead of coming here to get a vote of approval. Also, the stock SRAM GXP bottom bracket bearings are crap.

Once we figure out what a Fixie is, then we can talk about BBs and crankset. My vote is for Sugino or White Industries. My WI, to me, is the strongest and smoothest I have experienced.

That Andel is a very good crank, but it requires a 110mm JIS BB, so the 107mm Miche BB won't work.

At that price, it might not be any better than your worn bb...
