indianatrials Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Are they good? My echo forged have just started creaking (there not even that old) So im gonna get some new ones when i get the money. Just wondering if the trialtech ones would be better..Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 If you buy new cranks every time they start to creak a little you're going to be buying them pretty often! Anyway, to answer your question Trialtech's are very good value for money but they are similar in material and construction to Echo Forged's and if you're worried about creaking cranks you might want to splash out on something like Middleburns...

bigamac Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Maybe it's the bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 My Monty square taper cranks have no wear on the square face and i replaced my BB and they creak. Just put a small smeer of grease on the splines. Save a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkkkk Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 remember with the square tapers to tighten pretty much every ride and you shouldn't have a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Grease the BB threads and the splines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah i know, im not buying them just cause there creaking, the splines are also kinda crapped. I know i really should just get new BB and cranks...Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie East Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Youshould also check the pedals + cages, usually i find that its them thats creaking rather than the bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
