Poverty P.O.W.??? to buy or not to buy
ok...so i want to spend less than $100.....is the Poverty P.O.W. a good buy or no...it looks really good..and is there any way to buy like a hop-up kit for it...just like better sealed bearings or something....lol.....it looks really good...the arms look like the Profile BMX ones.....but i am just wondering if it is reliable and a good buy....

Just save up fro Profiles or Odysseys. You won't regret it, especially with their warranties (compared to the lack of Poverty/Dan's warranty).
|
its an ok buy, but if you have the money its worth it to go with some Profiles or Odysseys becuase of warranty...like Beerman said...
also look at Primo Cranks, there really nice, i dont know why everyone bashes them... |
whatever like the others say. The poverty is fine if you aint going off buildings.

The square spindle strips easily? Do you have any idea what the hell you're talking about? It's practically impossible to round out the spindle on Powerbites.

ok..well i am now thinking about Mosh....any thoughts on them>??
|
I wasn't even aware that Mosh even made cranks, but I do know that the reputation of their products isn't exactly the best.
|
i did know that..but the better stuff is made in Taiwan, lol,,,no saying much...mosh is good(made by Gaint) if ur on a budget get the POW if not get profiles!

If the bolts spontaneously get loose, the spindle strips |
but thats why you keep them tight...no bolt should come loose on a crank unless its a POS

Poverty SUCKS ASS. Poverty is for bikers with little to no budget. I'd agree with beerman, Go for the Odyssey. I myself have DK Chop sticks and they're freakin' awesome, but go with odyssey.

i'm going to get the Poverty....it just seems that some people don't understand that money IS an issue....if i had the 150 bucks i WOULD get Profiles....DUH.....i said in the first sentence of this thread...(ok...so i want to spend less than $100.....)....yes i want the profiles...but no i don't want to spend more than 100....but thankyou Harris Co

no MOSH
no POVERTy go with PROFILE or PRIMO..............so many people ask and start stupid threads about this...THERE ARE ONLY LIKE 3 GOOD SETS OF CRANKS IN BMX, PROFILE, PRIMO and those really heavy/indestructible SOLID cranks... |

my profile never gets loose. i grab a 9/16 socket and i tighten that **** all the way. |
