Poker Cranks Return to the ancients Chainrings 46T Limited and out of print

It's been a while since I shared reviews, so here's a fresh batch covering all the fun knockoff stuff I've bought and tested:

Paul Components "Royal Flush" Crankset & 46T chainring
URL: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806034748468.html
Review: 9/10.
Details: Surprisingly well-made copy of this iconic crank set that's been out of production for several years. There's a number of knockoff versions of this crank set kicking around AliExpress, most of which use a SRAM GXP-style of chainring mounting system. This one uses the identical system that the original used, which is four bolts on the backside of the ring. The crank arms are bright polished silver and include the Paul Components logo and crank arm size. The 46T chainring I got was black, and like other Paul Components copies on Ali, it seems that Chinese manufacturers prefer a black coating over actual anodizing. I don't think there's much choice available in chain rings; all I could find was black or silver 46T. Given that there's a lot of similar knockoff chainrings but they use a different mounting system, I'd stick with buying the 46T from the same seller to ensure compatibility. Following Paul Components' instructions, I mounted this crankset to a 111mm ISO square-taper bottom bracket. It fits fine, although enough of the spindle taper is showing to make me wonder if these knockoffs might do a little better with a JIS spindle. I've been riding these on a fixed-gear for the past month and have no complaints. They get a lot of attention and oohs & ahs. It's a "statement piece" for sure, but if you're looking for a cool fixed gear / single speed crankset and are happy with a 46T chainring, then this one is a great buy.
