If yes to above, how much would be reasonable to sell them for?4. Are the newer tensile cranks better than the old ones? as in stronger....2/3. I personally don't think there's a market for them,The alu ones seem to be sorting people out just fine.4. Being as the old cranks seemed to be breaking a lot,Tensile may have taken that into consideration, have a go and test them!Edit: Tensile cranks are liiiiiiiight!

Muel Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 The Urban Legends are apparantly much better than the old style ones.I used a Try-All stem on my Zona with Adamant bars, felt mighty noice.No, Aluminium TPA's are good enough, and they come in silver, not bronzy/goldy.

Greetings Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 1. Depends on your preference, most mod riders like long high rise stems. 160x25 for instance. You could also go with a Monty 150x25 stem and Monty bars which will feel similar. Out of the two, I'd choose the Monty combo due to the adjustability of the handlebars and the low rise stem.2. As mentioned above, aluminum ones are good enough, no point. Besides, people generally dislike the gold colour.Don't know about the cranks.

Alex Dark Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 1. At the moment he's using a t--???? stem, a steel one thats extremely high and fairly long ( 120mm + )2. Just wondered because a lot of people say that their alloy tpa's just thread themselves and break4. what bar and stemi for the holroyd? he's using answer pro-taper risers with a 90mm x 30* rise kore stem atm and its pretty rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've got a Monty PR stem on my Zona now, and I love it!Felt weird at first, as I went from the old geo Team stem, but now i'm used to it it's well nice.It's personal preference though, I like my Team stem, but my Monty stem feels way nice for sidehops, and generally on the backwheel.S'only £15 too.

cai Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I love the feel of my Try-all 25.4 and my Viz forged. They're bothe around the 165 x 40, and 170mm x 35. (both with 'low-rise bars', such as Echo low-rise, or Try-all Replicas)Feels goood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
