    Yes, they're def beautiful, but my XT (I use 165mm cranks) are way cheaper and on par for weight if a full alloy chainring is used ( i doubt my XT chainring will wear out any time soon for me to get one though.) But thanks for showing us something different from the usual fare.

    Definitely a great looking and quality set of cranks. Love the selection of lengths available. I look forward to your impressions. Does performance justify the cost? I think if you're a person who just really values top quality gear, these are up there with the best!

    Great Video, Last year I bought a pair of the black 5Dev cranks (165mm) A smaller chain ring (two teeth smaller) to offset the shorter cranks in order to maintain similar power output in the same gear, (previous cranks 170mm) and some one up aluminum pedals, so I didn’t have to adjust my saddle 5mm higher. The pedals being close to 5mm thinner then the DMR vaults. Unfortunately I didn’t get around to installing the new parts until the winter season so I can’t comment if I notice any difference. Finally thanks for taking the time sharing your knowledge and experience with new products. Almost forgot I was also a little concerned with stack height of the bars so hopefully with the changes I made I will notice no difference as that was my goal when I went down the rabbit hole of shorter cranks.

    • @mtbboy1993
      @mtbboy1993 Рік тому

      They don't require a break tbar, you don't need to use crazy high torque, 40 NM is fine, but a big hex key should loosen it, if its stuck you can do it by stepping on the key and having one foot on the other crank, or pedal, but if you have a rubber mat you can do it with a frame only, by doing the same. But not tried it on Sram but on Raceface. I add a bit of Loctite 243 to keep them extra secure for longer, but don't overdo it. 40nm is max my arms can do. I used the 8mm hex key from Parktool HXS-1.2 It's 20cm from centew of short end to tip.

    Hope the 5 Devs are forged/ cold forged.
    AC Components made some very similar cranks back in the late 80's. Very similar geometry shapes cnc milled into the surface, not all the way through.
    I still have a set. They are a warranty replacements for a set that snapped clean in half...after hitting a pretty moderate (by today's standards) 30 mph tree stump driveway gap jump. Amazingly I didn't crash as I watched half my crank arm and pedal tumbling down the sidewalk in front of me.
    Guess my point was....they were intricately machined from CAST billet and Hella weak.
    And precisely why everything nowadays is cold forged.

      Define “looks weak”. It’s a trellis design and combining triangles has held up bridges that we drive on. Ducati has used trellis style rear subframes on their motorcycles for decades, race cars use trellis in chassis and roll cage protection, the list goes on.
      I understand the lack of visual heft makes it appear less substantial, but there’s a good chance that pound-for-pound this crank arm is on par with a lot of other solid cast or milled products. 👍🏽

I haven’t had any issues with my second set but park season will put them to the test. The black anodizing doesn’t hold up against rock strikes, wish they made crank boots for these works of art but on my second set I added strips of frame protection and it’s worked out.

    I pedal on these, reason for me was mainly two factors. Made in USA, I just wanted to support something local (and I LIVE in San Diego) as one reason. The other reason is because it was a higher quality crank product that I could find that offered 160mm length. Took them to Mammoth last year and after many months riding on them, I still love them. I would not pay so much money for them if I didn't have the budget for the upgrade though. So unless 160mm length cranks are over flowing out on the market, this is a nice item to have. I own the black and they haven't peeled on me yet, but I haven't smashed them on to rocks even after a couple falls. Or maybe they have hit the ground a couple times, but not hard enough to do any damage that I can see. Recommended if you have the budget!

    But honestly putting that much money for a set of cranks that will get bashed , scratched IMO isn’t worth it.
    Yes they look great but its an upgrade purely for aesthetics unless you of course you have a super heavy crankset and your a weight freak.
    Same
    Goes to titanium cranks like the Ewings for $800-900 for cranks! Insane.
    Rather put that money on a fork upgrade or rear wheel upgrade maybe or even a nice set of titanium handle bars which will be noticeable performance.

      Harder to clean? Not compared to Raceface, I guess hallow cranks yes. But no bond to fail here, bonds can be strong if well done i guess. But Shimano ha sissies iwth bonds failing. These cranks actually seems easier to clean than Raceface cranks, as the dirt comes off in both directions. And seems like this design reduces alot of weight while keeping it stiff enough, but not tried them. But an added benefit of these cranks is being able to out a bicycle lock trough it.

  • @alexdi1367

    There's no functional reason to buy them. Weight is well over a number of cranks at half the price, which are all easier to clean. The design isn't particularly interesting, but then, there aren't many cranks available in purple. So if that's your thing... sure.

      Could you list a couple of the comparably priced and weighted cranksets? The cost of these has been the only put-off for me and using 165’s, a full set of Eagle GX with spindle and chainring is only $150. Not sure about weight savings, but my wallet isn’t that much lighter, so I can happily suffer the penalty on the trail.
