Pake Track Cranks on an SE Draft Lite
Okay, about a year ago I bought an SE Draft Lite. I know that everyone around here hates these bikes and everything, but it has served me fairly well and I would like to upgrade it. I have come apon Pake Cranks, and they seem to be a cheap and decent upgrade to the stock cranks. However I have two questions about them:
1. Will these cranks fit on the SE draft Lite's bottom bracket? I have heard from some places that the draft has a strange BB, but other sources seem to say it works. Note: I have the 2009 draft lite, it comes with 3 piece cranks, and what the manufacturer calls a "Euro BB" If these cranks will not fit alone, what parts to I have to buy to make them work, or are there any other cheap and good cranks for a fixed gear that you would reccomend?
2. I assume that the pake cranks that sell for $69.99 come with a left and right crank? This may seem like a dumb question, but in all of the pictures of them I can only find a picture of the geared crank.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help. You think there ugly? I really thought that the looked rather nice. Have you seen the stock SE cranks? Nothing could get uglier.

My problem with them is that they look like triples, but with the inner ring undrilled and with only one ring, I have no idea what the protusions are supposed to do, seems all they do is serve to trap your chain... I dunno, they perform, thats all they really need to do

Anyone else have any other suggestions for cranks that might be a better value than these? Anyone know how the $79 Alien Bikes cranks stack up to these?

You can get the Pake cranks for $56 here >>> https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=16823
Also they work with a 107mm or 110mm JIS square taper BB, so if that's what you've got you're in business. Also, you can choose crank length and chainring thickness (1/8 or 3/32).
I've done a lot of business with Universal Cycles. They carry a lot of good stuff at good prices.
