Miche Pistard Air Crankset

Anyone have any experience on opinions on them?

I know they are just basically the 2.0 track crankset made to look aero, but they look preetty...and pretty = fast right?

You're right that pretty=fast.

I haven't seen any particular reviews.

They're probably fine.

The new Miche cranks use a hidden bolt design. If quick chainring swaps are not a priority, then there is probably no issue.

so how do you access it - from the other side? if so wouldn't it just be a case of spinning the cranks and doing it through the frame for that one bolt or am i missing something?

Yes, it's just a bother, literally every other crankset for track has all 5 bolts exposed. If you are set on the solid spider design, Vision makes one that is supposed to be pretty nice. Rotor also makes one but the Q factor is a decent amount wider.

The vision looks a nice bit of kit actually and roughly the same price price bracket too...

Vision also has the advantage of having a 30mm spindle instead of the 24mm of the Miche and the Rotor.

this is negated by smaller bearing diameters if its designed to plug into a standard bb shell ---
