Nick Dale Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Ok so i have decided i want to go for some new cranks....but which! i have been looking at the longer cranks to get that little bit more power as my monty ones are only 158.....what i want to know is which are the beter the zoo or the tensile? good bad points of both sets please also lots of the tensile cranks seem to of snapped :sick: is it just a defect when they were made?

JT! Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The reason more tensiles seem to be snapping is becuase there's more of them out thereto be snapped. Never ridden with the zoo's but from what i ahve heard they are both very similar. My tensiles were always fit and forget. Untill one snapped, but other than they they have been perfect.

nafan Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Never had either but the tensiles (although they look slightly heavier) in my opinion are the stronger of the two... :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Dale Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Looks like its the tensiles then...is it worth getting just the arms and the getting a fixed cog because i already have a echo bash? With the UCI version can you still get the bash and cog off because it says its intergrated :sick: What you reckon? Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The bash slips on and off on the UCI version, and you could ask for the cog separate I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
