Jaffacakes Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I am getting new cranks but I am unsure on what to get. I just want to know the good and bad points of both cranks, I have heard tensiles flex but am unsure weather this is true. Can you just give me your opinions. Cheers guys .

Dr Greenthumb Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 i would personally go for echo, i have heard that tensile cranks will felx a lot as you have said and are a lot weaker than echos, if you have the money then you may as well go for echo.I need to make this decision soon as i may be changing my onza cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilky_mod_legend2 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I would say go for the echo's with a bash, as it looks amazing.But On the other hand tensiles have so many good points about them, they have replacable pedal inserts and are very good cranks. But, i have seen some snap.So i would reckemend echo as there an amazaing make, and they can be trusted imo.And to be honest they look the shizzle.Cheers wilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Tensiles are known to be one of the stiffest cranks out there. Not ever tried the echo cranks, but the tensiles are great. The new urban legendes are out now aswell, maby worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I agree with JT, tensiles are stiffer than a 14 year old in a strip club!! Dunno where you heard they were flexy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Got tensiles havent run them for very long, yea a few of them have snapped but if you think about the ammount of tensiles sold they are a much reliable choice, whereas echo cranks new to the market may not last 4 months who knows???

monty rider Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hey, I have a Pair of Tensile Cranks and they are amazing, I've had them for about a Year now and i haven't had one problem yet.They are also a very nice Length too, also very stiff.If you get some you won't be disappointed with them, then again i have never had a Pair of Echo Cranks and i'm sure they are very good aswell,I would go for the Tensiles mate. Hope i helpedCheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Foster Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 to be honest i would go for echo cranks as i beleive r ment to be alot stronger than tensile cheersfoster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAJIB Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think you should go with the echo cranks aswell because a mate of mine had them for around 2 months and they were seriously bent by that time so yer go for the echo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 to be honest i would go for echo cranks as i beleive r ment to be alot stronger than tensile cheersfoster just wondering but how are they meant to be a lot stronger.any crank you get is still going to flex to a certain degree otherwise they would be too rigidash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Tensiles are stiff, light and look cool. but you do hear of them breaking from time to time. i know nothing about the echos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
