What did you think of the stress test? Was it overkill or should it be standard? Let us know in the comments! 👇

[@peterharrington8709]

Yeah! But the boss said to do it and tbf it's marketing gold.

[@andynelson1977]

I think it's great that not only was the stress test double the required standard, they were happy to go way over all limits, on camera. That's so cool and shows how confident they are in products 💪💪💪

[@5DEV]

Thanks GMBN Crew! Great seeing you. Let’s do it again soon! 🔥⚙️🔥

[@gmbntech]

Thanks for having us! 🤘

[@xssonlineltd4212]

Love your shop. Thanks for the tour. We really love to see the process and your machines. You guys are making great products 🤟

[@devideomakerznl]

This shows me why some parts are more costly then others, but it makes sense - Love the product!!

[@Al-Sihng]

Great stuff 5Dev

[@zobilamouche420]

Really well made video, GMBN should make more of this !

[@richardpayne5176]

Thanks mate 👊

[@01FozzyS]

With all of Rich's trips here to the US, I dub him the official GMBN ambassador. lol

[@richardpayne5176]

😂😂😂 I mean I do love it every time I’m over. It’d be an honour just dont tell the Mrs

[@01FozzyS]

@@richardpayne5176 😂 If you're ever in the Northern California area, you're welcome to ride one of my "vintage" 26'ers,Rich. lol

[@andynelson1977]

That stress test was wild! So good 👍

[@richardpayne5176]

Yeah boss man Chris was as shocked as we were. Was fun to see 5dev were willing to push the limits whilst we were there

[@AHappyZeebra]

I LOVE my 5Dev cranks and pedals.

[@gmbntech]

Did you go for the flashy Ti cranks? 💍

[@hkckoo]

@@gmbntech I wanted to, but they dont make them in the length that I needed :( Ti available only for some crank sizes.

[@tlegary25]

Love these behind the scenes videos you guys do. Super rad!

[@MTB_Antony]

Just bought R-spec Enduro cranks two days ago)) Thanks for approving my choice with this test part))

[@andynelson1977]

Think that horror test validates your decision for certain!!!

[@samkochevar983]

That’s one of the wonderful things about metals. They stretch and deform quite a bit before actually fracturing. Carbon composites shatter rather catastrophically and often unexpectedly

[@jprowland]

Rich found himself 4 times in the first 2 minutes. Some people take decades, or even their whole life, to find themselves. Well done!

[@edu4818]

really cool engineering

[@peterharrington8709]

IF I had the £££ I'd be ordering right now. But yeah... one piece aluminum CNCed cranks will do for me. Can totally see why these Ti ones are at a premium though.

[@Gruntkiller01]

A bit scary and surprising the 5DEV employee was inside and in plane of crank during testing. Had it let go it could have gone bad. Glad it didn't.

[@lilblaster22]

I'm in on a set of ti MTB cranks 1 2 3 now!

[@edu4818]

wow

[@andrewbrown8927]

I wish their cranks were 300. I can't do 500 for crank arms. 300 I would do.

[@andrewbrown8927]

I would love if they made some more parts. They really don't need to use titanium they should do aluminum to keep prices lower. Some handle bars, stems, and I think they are capable of doing cassettes also. Some aftermarket fork stations would be cool also. Never seen that yet.

[@andynelson1977]

Looking at the test station, it seems there's more in the pipeline! Looked like the bar had a 5DEV logo on it.....🤔

[@bongobob7079]

" they should do aluminum" someone didnt take 2 minutes to go look at their site.

[@andrewbrown8927]

@bongobob7079 well they actually launched them that week. But thanks for being an internet dick we definitely need more of those also.

[@ANTheWhizkid]

I understand it’s a one piece design whereas most other manufacturers weld two halves together. The design requires a certain amount of machining hours which is a bit more as well. And probably the parts per hour are fewer than in other factories productions. Well, none the less they’re offering a dub spindle and for many people that’s easier than wrapping their head around the chain line of their bike. So yeah they might be a few grams heavier than similar products but they have their place on the market. Though I would appreciate the price of the aluminum enduro ones to go down to 400-450 over time. Machines depreciate, personell not. It’s on them if they translate that into a higher profit margin or a lower price.

[@L.LGodwill]

Thank you; It's overkill , and it may be need a heating to seven hundred and fifty degree Fehrenhit for two hour to rearrange metal crystals; after that hard test ?

[@LEL7567-ABCDEF]

so ultimate just like their customer service or how they totally never snap

[@fifthlettere]

I’ll stick with EEWings and Yoshimura Chilao’s

[@bongobob7079]

I am sure in your own little mind you thought your comment would be rather edgey and cool.....it was not.

[@dcv9460]

AWESOME production 😎👍💯 @5dev 🤖

[@gmbntech]

It's a great place 🙌

[@moozeex1]

Nice ad for 500£ crank arms.Too bad that they are neither stiffest, lightest nor the best value for a $$$

[@FOTB407]

What cranks do u like?

[@soidk9031]

But they look cool...

[@oatmonster]

Too many cases of them just snapping in half or falling off too 😂 Just goes to show that manufacturing aerospace parts isn't necessarily the same as designing them

[@KoyotBravo]

Not gonna lie, I expected them to be much stiffer

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Not my favorite, some companies are clearly trying to build a cult with high prices and HEAVY marketing...
