I installed some deitys this past weekend, well I'm never again buying bmx style cranks. i dont care how much stronger they are, the fustration to install them just isnt worth it.
and deity should make some kind of instructions on how to remove them. they could have put some thread on the inside of the crank arm so you could use a crank arm puller. would have made my life much easier.
back the bolt out a little, then hit it with a hammer. Profile is the same way. once you get the hang of installing bmx-ish cranks, it'll be easy. plus, FSA makes a bottom bracket with neither cup being fixed, so that makes installation a lot easier.

BMX style cranks are hella easy to install. Just make a press out of two pieces of 2x4, a nut and bolt and 2 fender washers. No chasing or facing or any of that bullshit that should be done by the manufacturer.

I weigh 250 and use Truvativ Holsfeller cranks. The day that I brake them or feel them flex cause the suspension didn't take the impact, I'll let you know. Azonic, Deity, and Profile(and maybe 1 more) are all the same basic design...same BB! They're all tapered from the BB down to the pedal. They're all Chro-Moly(as far as i know). It sounds to me that people are basing their opinions (and just that...Opinions) on what they decided to buy. Stick with whatever cranks are on your bike untill you brake it and then post a pic of it here. Aceman, ps. i didn't vote in this stupid poll.
