Handlebars

Tough category here. I've been riding Chase Gouin Odyssey Bars for a long time and they have been great. They no longer show up anywhere. Another company did Chase Gouin bars. Forgot the name.

Cranks

Good cranks are not cheap. I've discarded multiple expensive cranks that were spline drive. Don't like em. I like working with Odyssey Thunderbolt cranks. They come apart easily. They work well. One of my friends who rides park swears by them, so flatland they will work great for a long time. They are limited in what sprockets you can use. A reddit post recommended a few sprockets that can work. I do have some odyssey sprockets still. But just in case…
