Urpedigreechumdog Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I've ordered some 'burns from Merlin Cycles, they are yet to arrive but anyway. I was wondering what peoples views are on ISIS and Square Tapered Middleburns. Which do you think are stronger etc Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 My god.. Search for it, but heres the lowdown; ISIS Cranks = Stiffer feel, last longer (wont round off). ISIS BBs = Lower price isis bbs wont last as long as a same priced sq bb, therefore can be costly. SQ Cranks = Slightly less stiffer feel than isis, will round off if not kept tight. SQ BBs = Cheap to replace, last quite a long time. Thats it really :o Oh yeah, if your riding stock; 170mm length is best (Y) Hope iv helped, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-ass Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 ISIS gives a stiffer feel and the interface doesn't round as easily, however, they're more expensive (bb and crank). I think that's all there is to know! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 i know of no isis cranks/bb's that have rounded off :o if you sprend 30quid or more on an isis bb it should be fine :S Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonPace Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 isn't it too late to say this now anyway since you've already ordered the cranks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I didn't say it was going to affect my decision, I said I would like your views on ISIS and square taper. Never mind anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 lol isis is basically shite!!!!!! the axle is so large in diameter, that the bearings are tiny and last a short time, hence the move by shimano,raceface,fsa etc to oversised outisde bbs like on hollowtech 2 cranks, saint, hone etc. hope you got sqr taper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
