    all 48 spline are essentially the same, then there's hollowbites which are aluminum pinchbolts. If you're a trails/park rider go for Profiles (i personally run these). If you ride a lot of street go for hollowbites. Ti spindle are also available for both, they'll lighten up your bike considerably

    ^^^ and there you have it.

    I'm currently running WTP Royals and hollow BSD Ti axle, but i also have Hollowbites with hollow BSD Ti axle, pretty much all I'll ever need....... the only other cranks that take me fancy just now are the Eclat Tibias.

    steady there, you're jumping into two piece territory

    i have them, they're awesome. but pricey for the black ones.

    Hollowbites ftw. Will be fun removing the 1-piece crank too.

    i have Primo Powerbites that are at least 5 years old. they just never die. i think they are easier to work on, much easier to remove when you need to to set the spacing and swap sprockets.
