This **** happened skidding down some massive seattle hills. Sucks. That crankset was expensive.

They are TA Specialties Pista's. I really like them. They are pretty rare around my area. I guess they aren't the strongest. I have been riding them brakeless for about six months.

any idea what kind of wierd/cool crankbolts those are?

never seen anything like that... i can't even figure out how you would tighten them.

that tire looks like you beat the holy utter crap out of it... you definitely got your moneys worth before the hole formed.

They screw in from the back side of the crank.

The tire is schwalbe stelvio. They were like 70 bucks for the set, so yeah I did get my moneys worth. For comparison the tire lasted longer than the crankset.

cool! are those just the bolts that came with the cranks?

Yeah. Just for the record they are 135 BCD. I have still been riding them for the past couple days. But my new Suginos just gor here so off they go.
