Crankskins - WELL Impressed!

Has anyone else used this company before?
I ordered some crankskins from them on Friday and they arrived today.
Maybe I'm being a mong, but I dont get it. I ordered 1 set of transparent orange skins. Cost me about £10 including delivery.
I'd imagine 1 set means 1 skin for the left crank, and 1 for the right, but apparently not. They've sent a total of 4 orange ones and 2 clear ones. They've also sent what looks to be 2 half skins, with the union flag printed on them.
I am really really impressed and thought I'd share that with you.
Oh, they also sent me a 20% off coupon for orders over $15 if anyone wants it?

They are like helicopter tape for your cranks. You can either use them to stop the cranks getting scuffed up, to cover up scuffs already there, or just to add a bit of tartyness.

Nope, it's normal for you to get 2 sets and a set of clear (says so somewhere on the webby)
I want some blue ones for the XTR.
Pics of them fitted?
Pics of them fitted later on.

Sweet, will do matey
And cranks fitted to bike:
Still needs a quick going over with a hairdryer I reckon, just to smooth out the edges a bit.

Might get me a set at some point!
For a tenner, I'm pretty happy with them.

"BOCD - If it aint perfect it aint good enough"
Wouldn't go that far(no offence). Cant really see the need myself. The finish on those is bulletproof anyway and if shoes are rubbing on them your feet are surely in the wrong position?

Top kit methinks. He also has enough to last him eons!!
For me if I'm honest it was mostly a cosmetic thing anyway.
The initial plan was to try and get them anodized, but this is much easier and far cheaper. And if I want to sell them on or switch to a different frame, I can take the skins off and I'm not stuck with some orange cranks nobody wants and they will almost certainly be in better condition than an equivalent unprotected set. t'was a bit of a no-brainer for me really.
As I write this, I just had an email from EJ, the guy who owns the site saying he's put the pic from above up on his website.

Thats pretty cool cat! Surely Bikeradar should be on their 'Links to our bike friends' page now 8)
I thought half the idea of being 'into' bicycles was to get away from cars...???

Sick to the power of rad
Fix it 'till it's broke
I'd email EJ through the "contact us" bit on the site, he may well be able to get some sorted for you.

Who are you calling inbred?
After 2 weeks and a couple of hundred miles in some snow, some heavy rain, some thick sandy mud and even something called sunshine(?). These crankskins are holding up well.

Some guy on here recently bought a brand new Giant, and after one ride in a UK trail centre has no branding left on his Saint cranks.
Sure, rubbing doesn't affect performance, but it's not nice to see your lovely new cranks rubbed to death after a couple of outings.
Its about preserving the aesthetics of the finish, like copter tape on downtubes etc.
And also helps if you want to sell them on.
