Paperclip Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 yeah it should say it on them, and your best bet would be to just get rid of square taper, its gash! cranks allways wear down unless youve got middleburns or something. and if its a stock youll most likly be on 175's there also isnt a pitbull 08,its 07 or 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Biddle™ Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi there i know this is a bit off topic but did you and Laurence--Trials want to join a few of us in a norwich ride this sunday or maby saterday depending onwhat the other riders decide.On the crank the length should be on the inside where the pedal threads in if not take the pedal arm to your local bike shop and ask them to messure it for you or lay it next to another set of cranks that you know the lenght of allready to get a rough idear on the lenght.http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=514Tartybikes do stock in the cranks in 160 or 170 but they dont sell the arms separately according to the website soyou might have to give them a ring to make sure. If they dont have a look on ebay or the forum if you find you have no luck in finding one pedal arm you might have to invest into a new set of cranks really.Biddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
