FSA has some great low price cranks and lifetime warranty on the bearings.

The Hones are really quite nice. Go for the one with two rings and a bash. Then replace the little ring with an inner bash and you are all set.

i second the Hones, but i took the bash off and replaced it with the E13 because i didn't like how weak the stock bash is. The hones are great though.

i have FSA Gaps, and they're really great cranks. the bb is still rolling smooth and i've had the bike for about a year and a half. the cranks are stiff, i just wish they were lighter. my next set of cranks for my next DH/FR bike will be FSA Gravity Lite MegaExos or Shimano Hones. Deity cranks are amazingly strong and stiff, i have them on my DJ bike, but i just like the weight savings and look of aluminum cranks on my big bike.

the gap cranks are what I have also, quad bearings. what bike/frame do you have? someone here will know what size BB you need.

I bought a set of LX cranks and love them. I replaced an older set of XT cranks with out external bottom brackets.

Nice and stiff. Also Hones are basically the same thing. If you prefer black to silver.

that's right chip tooth, add a titanium spindle for ultra swankness.

I like my FSA Gaps, but I did have to replace the bearings after about a year. No biggie though, they aren't expensive at all.
