I bought a set of cranks with a spindle that’s apparently too long. Creak and crunch despite adding spacers so now I’m looking at budget cranksets. These skeace cranks are cheesy but I’ve heard they’re reliable, cheap and will match my build. Pic related.
I’m wondering if anyone has experience buying these and what they did for a bottom bracket? They have bundles with a bottom bracket included but it doesn’t say the size anywhere on the product listing. My bb tube is a 68. I don’t want to spend an extra $30 just to get a bottom bracket that doesn’t fit.

Ps all it says about the bottom bracket is it’s BSA
They can fit Tsunami frames and a lot of fixie frames. This will fit to your 68 mm specs.

I have them, i got a shimano bbr60 on aliexpress too to replace the one that came with the cranks and it’s super smooth. No creaking so far
Its good. If your bike frame use a 68 bb the cranksy works. Its a standard measurement in most of track bikes. No spacers needed.
You say that your spindle its too long, idk what measurement its your crank but un case of the crank its too long you have to use 3 spacers.
You can get some FSA s300 for 120 bucks that comes with crankset, bb, and chainring. I got them and like them a lot. Only downside is the bcd is 130 so there aren’t a lot of chainring options if you want to upgrade down the road.
Good cranks

I have them and they’re great, been riding them for years with no issues.
