Pake VS Origin 8 VS Sugino Crank Set
I'm looking for a crank set for my first bike.
I searched and found that origin 8s are ****, but they go for fairly cheap. But will they be fine for now for daily commutes, learning tricks. Or are they absolute **** that i should just invest in something else?
I read that pake crank sets are decent and do their job well, i see them going for 20-30$ more than origin 8s. But they look fairly similar, is there a difference?
Or should i go for a messenger or rd?

I've been running the Pake for 4-5mos. now and they've held up just fine thus far. There's the Sugino XD in the same ballpark too. Not sure about the quality, but it is Sugino if that gives you more peace of mind.
