The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Wethepeople dropped this new promo video featuring their Royal cranks with some riding from Dan Foley! Hit play for a look at these solid BMX cranks and some awesome riding.
“The Royal crank is simply one of the strongest cranks on the market and has been keeping the wheels turning on bikes around the world for years and years now. The crank of choice for most of the team, we found no one better to show just how strong these things are than Wethepeople PRO Dan Foley.”
There’s no denying that with all of the progression of BMX, there’s been a lot of focus on making putting strength in products where it counts. One of the things we have seen a lot these past two years or so are more brands offering beefier and larger cranks that are designed to take on the heavy drops and abuse that they’re being put through on street, ramps and trails. We have seen a big resurgence of 22mm cranks, along with a few giving the 24mm spindle size a go. One option that will be hitting shops in March are the new Big Bitchin’ cranks from Subrosa that are a larger, more bitchin’ version of their original Bitchin’ cranks that have been available in a 19mm version for a few years now. With them being just a few weeks out from release, we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look! Let’s do this!

With 2015 rolling around, we’ve made a few changes that we feel will make the site better and more quality than before. Once instance of that, that you can expect to see quite a bit are more product related posts giving you a closer look at quality products we’re stoked on. For example, the Mutiny Bikes Cinch cranks that received a few changes recently.
The Cinch cranks use a clean 2.5 piece design that start out with heat-treated 100% 4130 chromoly 175mm long rectangular arms that are bossless to work specifically with spline drive sprockets and have custom Investment Cast oversized spindle bosses for increased strength. The 22mm, 48-spline spindle is made from 100% 4130 chromoly with a flush mount 8mm chromoly hex bolt to keep the arms tight.
The Cinch cranks are available in right or left side drive and can also be purchased as a kit with Mutiny’s Pentra sprocket that comes in sizes of 25, 28 and 30 tooth sizes. They retail for around $159.99 for just the cranks and $184.99 for the cranks and sprocket!
You can learn more about the Cinch cranks and see more photos right here.
