5DEV or EVOSID The Battle of the Cranks

[@allenperry9151]

Looks so good!!!! Nice work

[@MattsMTBworkshop]

baught these for myself, they look amazing and arent far off from that premium 5DEV quality! Super happy this brand is getting some recognition!

[@robh2312]

@@MattsMTBworkshop I don’t mind buying the namebrand parts, but when the offbrand parts are just as good if not better… You can’t lose

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Nice cranks! Just an FYI, your Wolftooth chainring is a 'Strop Stop ST' which is only compatible with Shimano HG+ and KMC chains and no other 12 speed chains per WT.

[@robh2312]

@@ThunderStruckMTB thanks bro, I’ll take it back to the store. I was having a hard time determining whether it would be compatible with my chain.

@@robh2312 The bike industry makes things way too hard that's for sure!

[@trandothuy]

nice rig and nice job with installation. What was your reason for going from 170mm to 160mm crank?

[@robh2312]

My bike is a mullet with a 27.5 on the rear. Unfortunately that lowers the bottom bracket and causes frequent pedal strikes. I figured by having shorter cranks I would eliminate most pedal strikes. To my surprise, the bike pedals much better with shorter cranks and now I almost never have pedal strikes.

[@geode232]

Could you post a weight for just the cranks and spindle without the chain ring. When you get a chance

[@robh2312]

Cranks and spindle weight 610 grams without the chain ring

Great video

[@MartinKrenovsky]

Hi great video I have a question I have a Shimano bb you think the spindle will fit in there not sure if the DUB is different if you know that thanks

[@rochelleparry1283]

Dub is 22mm on one side and 24mm on the other shimano are 24mm on both can getan adapter

[@MartinKrenovsky]

@rochelleparry1283 thank you

[@robh2312]

Thanks for the info because I’m planning on getting another set for my other bike. The other bike has a Shimano BB

[@henr1k5]

I bought Miranda cranks and saved lots of money

[@robh2312]

@@henr1k5 Saving money is the name of the game, so long as the quality is there. I’ve been using the Evosid cranks for about a week now, and I can’t complain.

[@KiwiInGermanyMTB]

Can you comment again in a few months and let us know if it's all still good?

[@robh2312]

@@KiwiInGermanyMTB Most definitely. In fact I’ve done five full rides with it on blue trails and 2 black trails and haven’t had to adjust anything. I’ll also be riding at Spider Mountain in Texas in two weeks where I plan to shoot a video.

[@LoamMTBSlide]

Most likely those cranks are not 7000 series aluminum but 6000 series. The threads will probably strip out on the pedals. They will bend or snap. Note that they won't break right way but a few months down the road. All legit cranks go through pretty crazy testing on machines for days. Also adding a knock off part to your frame will 100% void the warranty.

Let these guys all learn the hard way. Broken frames, broken ankles, thousands in hospital bills.

[@robh2312]

You may be right, but I won’t know unless I try it

[@auomauom]

Geez shut up 😂. Acting like you work for 5dev or something defending their cranks. That shits overpriced and everyone knows it.

[@jorgesantos8509]

It´s 7075 aluminum

[@delnayelan]

keep telling yourself that!

[@delnayelan]

I have the evosie and then rock! and $51 us. Screw %dev and the bs price of $1k

[@robh2312]

@@delnayelan The Evosid cranks look good and I haven’t had any issues at all.

[@sergey_lukyanets]

Gold chainring looks awful, like a gypsyism. Silver looks amazing.

[@robh2312]

@@sergey_lukyanets hahaha might be time for a replacement. I was debating between the silver and gold.
