If you can afford them, get profiles becuase they are super strong and you go big and plan to go even bigger this summer.

i'd defiently say profiles.... heard GREAT reviews about them and they are just super beefy chromo cranks.
I also like the raceface cranks... personally i would reccomend these: http://www.supergo.com/profile.cfm?L...604&referpage=
good luck deciding on some new cranks! LOTS of choices to choose from :13:

They are the same as all 3 piece cromo cranks.... atleast concerning chainwheel/ring/bash/spider

They truly are sweet and are lighter than profiles

Downhill racing is not an extreme sport.
