Steve, thank you so much for working with these bike component wizards to get us a discount! So excited to hear your thoughts and opinions on the bike bling! Those in 170, anodized black with the blue accents!! Take my money!

Those are some sweet looking cranks. Nice to see a new brand out there and being made in the states. I can't wait to see what they have in the works and the color choices should be amazing as well.

Love the content Steve. Your crank length experiMENTAL video opened my eyes to the importance of cranks. I've been having knee pain recently and I switched from 175mm to 170's to 165 and what a difference the 165mm have made. Knee pain is gone, thanks again!

Wow nice looking cranks… I just checked out their website and unfortunately a little too much for my pocket book (can’t justify the price strictly being a hobbyist… and with other competing interest). But I was an “industrial electrician” manufacturing production line equipment for 22 years (mostly stainless steel construction of course) and worked with some great machinist (we had our own machine shop running 3 shifts at times) and can more than appreciate the craftsmanship and quality that goes into something like this :).

Gorgeous! Those cut outs are so spiffy looking. I hope they are as beefy and durable as they look.

Not forged is a no-no on high-end cranks. Isn't this what killed Kooka? The industry realized letting design school grads go wild with CAD drawings and CNC machining wasn't necessarily a good idea! Time will tell with these.

They do look nice for sure.

Raw cnc'd parts just looks so good...Imagine them on an all black bike with either the klampers or shiny trp's

Awesome scoop ✨✅

My MTB was in the shop when this video first came out and I thought that after 3 years and over 2000 miles I had worn out one of those Wheels Mfg bottom brackets out but NO. It is still going strong. The issue wasn't the bearings and I've put at least 100 miles on the bike since then so I can personally attest that they are well worth the money.

Just add blue/purple anodizing to those cranks and we can take a trip back down memory lane 😉 Of course you need matching bolts to go with it. 👍

I am not him, but I have tried them for a couple years and settled on - I can't tell a difference. However, try may work for you.

You made reference to Raceface having the same length of arm and just moving the pedal threads for different crank lengths - don't know if you meant just for 165 vs. 170. I just picked up 170mm Turbines to replace my 175's and the crank arm length is definitely shorter on the 170's. I don't know what they do for any of their other cranksets.

@hardtailparty

I’m running XTR M9100 drivetrain right now, can I use XTR chainring with 5DEV cranks?

@hardtailparty

2 жыл бұрын

I believe 5DEV only run sram 3 bolt style chainrings, but you can reach out to them to double check. Don't forget to use code "hardtailparty" when ordering for a discount.

The biggest issue I see is that these cranks with that have 30mm spindles. True they feel a bit stiffer, this was radically noticeable when I first used my Hope EVO cranks replacing my RF Next SL cranks. I think part of that was aluminum is just stiffer. With that said, the price of the bigger spindle is your BB bearings are smaller and they won’t last as much as BB’s with 24mm spindle crank sets. Perhaps if you have a T47 BB this wouldn’t be the case, but most of us have the smaller standard BB shells on our frames. The reason I’m bringing this up is because I go through BB’s like crazy on my single speed Mtn bikes. I definitely ride a lot and my trails are a hard loaded,mash cranking, out of the saddle climb to get to my descents. It’s dry where I ride but just a lot of torque applied constantly to my cranks and BB’s. I have learned a few tricks to get some extra life out of my BB’s and have used most of the best BB’s available.

@5DEV

We can machine any size spindle. We just haven't made a 24mm yet. It will probably come in time if we see the demand. Right now most are opting for 29 (sram) or 30.
