does anyone have any experience with these? I'm really interested in their cranks with chainrings, they're priced at $50 and seem like they would be nice. I can't find reviews of them though and am apprehensive about the quality. I've had good experiences with their wheels, but that's all. Any info?

I ride some Origin8 components. Nothing too fancy, not too cheap. It's a good utility product. Probably comes from the same factory as the Eighth Inch Brand. Most bike stuff comes from the same island now a days.

I've got an EighthInch cog, lockring and chainring on my Kilo and my wife has a set of their bullhorns on one of her bikes. It's good quality stuff and finished better than the Origin 8 stuff I've had/seen.

EighthInch components aren't too shabby for the price

I have a set of there New ergonomic track cranks.Good quality but, not so good on hills...

and I've started to walk a little funny.

Mrs Scrod is gonna get you for that!

their cranks have a noticeable amount of flex in them.

i just bought one of their 165mm 46T crankset

at $50 a pop, can't complain.

They are pretty quiet too. Much quieter than my current SRAMs

Sugino RD2's are a nice set. Iv been running a set for awhile now and work great for average cruising/commuting.

I guess I don't hammer enough, because my EighthInch cranks seem fine to me.

Hahaha! Well-played!

I have eighthinch white bullhorns. Quality for the price and I would recommend.

Yeah. That was misleading. I was just talking out of my ass.

They work fine. Of course, there's better. But at that price point, I think they're damn good.

Hah. Look at how your cranks are mounted. They are not aligned. No wonder you are walking funny.

That doesn't look right at all, It looks more then 90 degrees off as a square taper would allow.

Everyone is a genius today.

Hmmmm. Some people should pick up a bicycle manual sometimes.

ha!

You're this guy:

sigh, no one on the internet understands sarcasm. Those cranks are ****ed up. That isn't his fault, they were made like that. And to top it off the cranks do flex a bit. It is noticeable but no where near a big deal. You wont be track racing with these anyhow. My cranks have not given me any real problems.

edit: what are you jealous wroomwroomoops?

Dont have any problems with my origin8 cranks. Rides fine for my commute.

Don't make me kick your ask!

Wait now I'm lost

The gremlin from Finland decided to type things on the internet.
