Lawnmowerman Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Tensiles? mine are brilliant (Y) Not had a problem yet (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) Middleburns are normaly too long. It's between tensiles and the zoo's. Both good cranks. Pick your potato. Edited July 2, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 What about the new echo cranks? Cheaper than most at £55, come in ISIS or square taper and take screw on cogs or freewheels. my mate has a set and they are great! look nice aswell.

RicH_87 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 whats wrong with good old monty cranks? still my fave by far. Look the best too. (lets face it, all cranks do the same job so a desision is almost entirely based on looks and perhaps price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I'm pretty sure the Tensiles are stiffer (hence Monty copying them (Y)), and have replaceable pedal threads, plus the option of having the nicely splined UCI ring, and so on. Oh, and a warranty which actually means something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd go Tensiles every time. Oh, and have gone Tensiles too (Y)" There were some Middleburns out that were sold on Tartybikes at a deal price, 'cos they were 16t. Might be able to try and sort something for you I guess, regarding 18t-age... Heckle Dave/Adam and expect a response on Monday when they're both back.

nb88 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Cheers guys. Most probably going to go for the tensile route as they look good quality (Y) . Or middleburns if i can, for a price i can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 A bit off topic but is there anyway to avoid gettink chunks out of your ankles from the tensiles? There really starting to piss me off and keep hitting in the same spot. they dont feel sharp but do when they cut into my ankle lol (Y). So can you get middleburns with an 18 t ring? because you can get the cranks in most sizes there smooth, strong have a niice chunky bash and a very good warantee. i wouldnt mind switching to save my legs if possible.

Mark W Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I found since I got some non-shit pedals (i.e. not VPs), that my feet were held far enough away 'cos of the length of the spindle. With my X-pedals, my feet are pretty far away anyway, so they just don't come into contact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
