I'm a heavy rider (200 lbs/92kg) and have been using the 165mm cranks on my XC/trail hardtail for 4-5 months and last weekend put like 20km (around 13 miles) Bearings still runs smooth, spindle looks a bit worn but does not feels any groove in the metal, no cracks or any play in the crankset 🤙🏽
Thanks for the follow up video Gabriel I’ve been checking those cranks out since you first posted it and your videos are helping me make an informed decision I’m running 170-175 on most of my bikes but a slightly shorter crank I don’t think will make a huge difference, I’m kind of anxious to see how they perform overall-I was at SS with a couple of buds that same day, lolz a lot bad injuries but that’s standard for SS on closing day…thanks for the video brother and keep up the great work 🙏🙏🚴🚴
It’s wild to see mountain biking turn into a downhill sport at ski areas, just like skiing. While it makes sense for ski areas to take advantage during the summer months and continue to operate and make money, I would have thought the insurance liabilities would have been too high to make it viable. It’s cool though. Were I younger, I certainly would be doing it.
I got 165mm 5dev cranks on my hardtail and it handles well ,coz it helps lessen the beating on my ankles and knees. Yours is pretty much the same function but just less density on the material built, just be careful on high jumps where the risk of high impact landing. Most of all enjoy the rides and experience will get us better on our skills no matter what bike parts we have on.
how tall are you? if your below 5'10 go 165 down to 152, 5'5-5'9 = 152mm, 5'9 - 6ft go 165 anything over 6ft go 170/175 im 5'10 175's was a lil much im down to 170 as my legs are unusally long for my height im one of those people that have long arms n legs. Also tip of the day you can get the effect of smaller cranks by buying n fitting fatter/thicker peddels can lower the distance from the BB to the peddle
They are built in a process of micro accumulation of matter; constructed one atom at a time so that alloys can be precisely placed in the aluminum matrix. The Zeta Reticulans taught us this process that’s used to build their flying saucers. 🛸😁
I thought he was going to keep going straight and I would go around him but I think he slowed down because he saw me coming and it turned into that 😂😂 we’re all good tho😆🙏
For trail and enduro bikes, shorter cranks just make sense. Back when I raced XC in Alaska during the 90s, I was the only racer I knew that rode 170 cranks; everyone else rode 175-180s. I have short legs so it made sense for me, but I think it helped in other ways as well. For bikes that primarily are meant to go downhill, there’s just no reason for longer cranks.
gen1 yes, current gen: no, they dont. just ask asa and neko. but: the evosid are made of a softer alloy than 5dev. that does not mean they will fail. I actually expect them to last, to be honest.
no way i would jump and trust my safety to a knock off Chineseium crank. I have had too many injuries that didn't include failing parts, though i did jackknife and face-plant one time because the chain broke so suddenly at low speed with high chain torque. It doesn't take much to be completely fukt.
I was supposed to other one thinking they are light but later learned that (both without any chainrings), this 5Dev is about 50grams heavier than my NX crank. So I pass on this.

Insurance cost is sadly the reason none of the ski resorts in Wisconsin lift access trails anymore. Fucking insurance 😂
So much fun bro take me back lol 🤘🏾get some !!!!!

@@gazj I'm 5'9 (1.76m)
use lock tight on the bolt standard practice when it comes to crucial parts that you dont want coming loose
Love your channel!! just subscribed
I have the same cranks in fact I have 2 sets 165mm and 170mm on 2 bikes so far so good they even make stems which aren't bad either
That was a very fast blue run at the start.
are these casted, forged or cnc? thats all i need to know

@@keirfarnum6811 😂😂😂🍻
😂😂😂
Imma come out with 6dev cranks. How much better? 1 more.
Looks sick dude. Do they make these in a e bike version for EP8? We were at Summit too on the last weekend. Party wave was insane.
Bro also if you keeping the clash , try get a OChain in there , that bike has massive kick , u will honestly benefit brother. 🤙🏻
❤hat was the length you had before? 170?
It seems it bounces to fast back. Anyway maybe it’s just the video.
Aliexpress Bike Parks... how much are they? and do they come ready to go?
yeah 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
How’d you almost run straight into dude at the end 😭 thought it was your homie and you were messing with him ahahha
I thought he was going to keep going straight and I would go around him but I think he slowed down because he saw me coming and it turned into that 😂😂 we’re all good tho😆🙏
Thanks for the Review
What's your spring rate Gab.
Awsome review. Are the crank arm bolts steel or aluminum?
produkt description says titanium.
Real 100% geniune chineseium alloy, probably.
I switched from 170 to 165 a year ago. Shorter cranks makes jumping easier

I’d be worried
Saw you!
you're shaking so much.. is it the Marzocchi fork that's working so poorly or the high pressure settings?
What Tire pressure do you use? You use cushcore?
At the bike park I like to run 25 psi on front and rear, and no cushcore on any of my bikes 👍
Careful bro, I’ve seen legit 5 Dev cranks snap on the trail. 💯 .. those knock offs will snap eventually no doubt! Ride safe
Fashion victim
No they won’t

Dang 5 devs have a reputation for snapping so you got the knock off version?...
They sure look cooler than my descendant carbon cranks, probly way less sketchy too 😂😅
DMR cranks are $100. Go even shorter bro. Road guys ride 145mm.
Please
Don’t support intellectual property theft.
I was supposed to other one thinking they are light but later learned that (both without any chainrings), this 5Dev is about 50grams heavier than my NX crank. So I pass on this.
Dude 50 grams is so negligible. And plus these look so much better than NX cranks.
