2. The only Octalink track crankset is DA7710. If you're on a budget, can't go wrong with Omniums as long as you know the stock BB isn't going to last forever. It does tend to hold up better on the track than on the street though.
Thanks Scrod! Will get smaller tires going forward. As for wheelset, I am not looking for anything specific or overly light, but rather durable and sub $400. Don't care about the look, as long as they stay true and are able to take 200lb sitting a top of them.

Which BB would you recommend to pair with Ominums for a longer lasting effect?

Again, cheers!
