pros/cons, does the black coating wear off etc you know the normal stuff......
YES go silver
One day... YES!
Black cranks! on a singlespeed! no no no.
Good cranks BTW, using them on my only bike and they're so trouble free I can't remember if they are square taper or not.
Mine's still intact after several kkm of riding.
yes, silver 🙂
wish they did a 38t uno ring, for my rohloff 🙁
I've had both the uno and white industries eno. Liked both. I had an uno chainring shatter on me (that was a long walk) but it was replaced without question. At least with the uno if you decide to run it as a double or triple you only need to buy another spider.
yes - silver
no. must be a funny q factor or something. felt like they pedaled funny compared to a number of other bikes with other crank systems. i expect it was just me. shame cos they cost an arm and a leg and look nice. 🙁
I had a Middleburn spider shatter on me too but it wouldn't put me off buying them again, the cost did that. 😉

I used to have an uno too and it was fine, did the job but tbh I had it 'cos it looked good.
[i]cove123[/i] - have you found a good / sensibly priced supplier for the Uno crankset? I've been looking at them too...
yes. i persuaded middleburn to anodize me a 180mm pair in black. sweeett an rare as hen's teeth
oh and the coating has been fine
hungry monkey - youd need a very long axled BB to get the rohloff chainline with an UNO ring IMO. Alos when Ive asked Middleburn chappy he said he did make a 36T uno but it was 1/8" not 3/32" - im guessing for strength, so even if he did a 38T you would need to run a chunky chain.
I think Middleburns are lovely cranks though.
Gonetothehills, thansks for the offer, cranks are for a mate, he has ordered them at LBS, he is nice like that......
