Price


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

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The cranks pretty good theyre really stiff and darn goodlooking but the 20 bottom bracket that comes stock with it is complete trash


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I would switch it out immediately


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When i first installed them i noticed a lot of drag but i figured they smooth out after a couple of rides which they did but it still doesnt run as smooth and freely as my previous bb that came stock with my bike
