Price


Price to performance (4/5)this is where omniums shine strong again, at least at the start.

    Its a true track crankset way ahead of its time that everyone else eventually came around to and followed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A lot of people have complained about the bottom bracket seals wearing quickly or there being excess drag


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im running the updated gutter seal design and over the course of 1 year have cleanedregreased the outside of the bearings once which took all of 1 minute


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bearings themselves are not really replaceable but thats okay since you can get a new bottom bracket for 30 and install it with one tool in about 1 minute


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are no rounding off issues like with square taper bbs and nobody denies that these are stiffer
