Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I would skip the FMF cranks, and go for something else cheaper. You can pick up used suginos on ebay for less than 75.

did you read what he's getting the FMF's for? ****, some of them are under $20!

if they're made for BMX they should be durable enough for your application. their job is only to hold your pedals and chainring while they spin around really fast, not like they have bearings or other mechanical parts to them. The only thing that could be crappy is the finish, so you may want them in silver? either way, I say go for it, let us know how they are.

Bikes: too many too list

I have built up quite a few bikes with FMF cranks. Mostly ISIS but a few square taper when they still made em. I have had no problems or complaints from customers yet. I have put 2 messengers on em and they have been rocking em for at least 6 months with no problems to speak of. Good cranks for the $.
