Siders77 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I use an FSA Platinum Pro. ISIS. It's very nice compaired to the square taper ones I've used i the past. It feels nice and stiff. (Y) £34.99 from CRC. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 To be honest i dont know what I use but it is a square taper, not isis, I got my Local bike shop to fit a new one when my old one snapped (it was a cheap one) So i spose that goes to show you may want to spend a bit of cash on a half decent one.
