Race Face Cranks

Any one here tried using Race Face Turbine LP cranks on their MUni’s? How
about any other Race Face? How long will Black Widow Euro cranks hold up?

    Remember I am 180 pounds and about the biggest jumps I might de
    would be about 2-2 1/2 feet. Any Idea's would be helpful.

    Is about the Best wide downhill rim you can get a Sun Double Wide
    rim?

Hey Max,

I can provide some info on my experience with the Black Widow Euro
cranks …

There are light, really light, however I bent them fairly significantly
after about a month of constant 4 - 5 foot drops and heavy trail use (my
technique was pretty poor at that time, I didn’t roll out of drops, which
is a must! I only weigh 150 pounds, so I’m not that heavy).

If you stick to the trails and 2 - 2.5 foot drops I think the Black
Widow’s will hold up fine for you for quite some time. I don’t know
anything about the Race Face cranks.

I’m eyeing the Kooka Downhill cranks as my next set, but we’ll see.

I run a HED. 45 on mine. It’s about 100 grams lighter than a Sun
Doublewide, but same width. Unfortunately they don’t make 24-inchers. See
