So I was wondering which is better, one piece cranks or three piece.

I noticed that some flatlanders use one piece cranks, but others use three piece cranks. Which is better? Which should I buy? I can't make up my mind on my own. :cry:

I used the search engine but couldn't find any threads about which one is better so I thought I'd start my own thread. :)
Thanks in advance!!!

3pc are better in that they are much stronger, meaning less flex

1pc are ok for flat, but the flex is an issue for some, up side is that they are cheap

its more a preference thing, but since you asked which is better, 3pc if you have the $

Dan, have you been smoking sonny's crack or something?
hahahaha, you know the answer to this...
you must be really bored at work... try downloading some computer viruses or something... should be more fun than the stupid replys your going to get from this... hahahahaha
Or maybe you should ask sonny for some hacking lessons from hackinthebox.com... HAHAHAHAHA
ask sonny about using telnet for hacking... then when he starts talking about telnet, you can tell him "you fucking moron, you can't hack with telnet! it's more than 5 years out dated, everyone uses ssh now!"

I'm Gonna give the sensible argument as to why 1pc cranks are fine,
ive been runnin the same 1pc cranks for nearly 4 years now. they are fine. not bent, not snapped. they are cheap to replace, they are easy to service, and they are light, also, if you cant aford replacement parts you can just steal them off some lil kids byke when they arent looking, and i love my 1pc cranks. 3pc are for posers with shitty foregner bb's and too much money to waste. stay hobo style go the cheap route... i love mine.

some people get by with 1peice cranks for flatland, right now i got a mongoose 1peice crank and plastic mongoose pedals,im ok wit hit till it breaks, you should be fine with a 1peice crank, if u want less maitnence, get the sealed 1pc crank bb off flatlandfuel, makes 1peice cranks much simpler and less maitnence, i think i might pick that up
