Best Crank ?

[mickymidas]

Any of you lovely people got a preference for a crank for a standard P200 rebuild? ....Mazz , Pinasco , OEM ?....Am on a budget , depending on time of month, ( pay day , not wife's mood swings ... sexist comment I know, but I've been married over thirty years , so I know what's what ).... or any type that's been best for you .

Cheers m'dears

If youre on a budget go for a mazzy.
Although im so sure you'd benefit from a race crank though so keep the stock timing

mazz's have had a up/down rep ,up at moment , but i wouldnt trust there little end bearings as far as i could fart em against a gale , trying to remember the good italian ones M something ,sounds vaguely japanese , mercuire ,nah it will come ,
try lookin in "stoffi's garage" ,am sure last smallframe crank i needed i saw some px cranks there , cheaper than stock n he's got a good rep ,H

Mec Eur now branded as Tameni. They're the ones!
You can also get these cheap from euroland if you shop around

Much much nicer than a mazzy

Im not a fan of the mazzy but have used one for over 10,000 mi!es no worries on a stock 200

Mec Eur/Tameni is a much higher quality than mazzy.

Ive also used a mec eur long stroke on a 225 for over 6000 miles too and its still like new, nice and tight etc.

If you find one , go mec eur /tameni anyday

Cheers all , lots to think about there & have noticed the Yemeni one on SIP for a fair price .

been looking at cranks for my rebuild, got different advice when i asked about the mazzy ones so i was gonna buy oem, will have to have a look at the tameni one's now




edit: just saw this on ebay, would save me quite a bit compared to OEM but is it worth the risk?





tameni crank

[henri]

tameni , thats the japanesey name my brain couldnt dredge up ,italian made an use to be the me eur brand , unlike mazzes never heard a bad thing bout em , unusual with scooterists ,an as ya can see from picture much finer machining/finish than stock or mazz .an unlike mazz havent had a run off bad little ends disintegrating before run in .if i was you doulsy i'd go with that crank, wasp performance gets some off my cash nowadays after gazpx pointed them out to me .mostly dell jets n other small stuff ,but always priced reasonable n posted fast an as listed , H

Mickeymidas, Cranks is a big decision, make or break for most engines. If you want totally solid reliability, just get an OEM original. If you want it to go a bit better, a Mercure/Tameni 60mm with a 125 main jet and nothing else.
