    LX. oh wait they are the same.

    get the Hones. dont forget to make sure that the bb shell has been faced.

    ask them if the cost of the cranks includes fitting?

    if they say yes then confirm that this includes having or checking that the bb is faced.

    I have both LX and Hones, Choose whichever suits the look of you bike. They are identical apart from colour.

    no there not!!! Have a look at them before posting this kind of thing!!! The hones have a much thicker axle!!! Which should (in theory) give them a higher strength thann the LX's.
