mat hudson Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 theyre strong cranks. alittle on the heavy side. lasted mark f**king years. some people have problems with them rounding, they just didnt do them up tight enough.

roozor Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Cranks are actually very strong, the other guy is totally right though, you just have to have them done up very tightly and you're all good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Nice!I`ll go for them then, but I cant say that I`ve seen alot of people using them? Or maybe I`m dumb..Anyway, thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh B Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Every person that has a t pro basically has these cranks.most people that buy the t pros leave things to screw up like freewheels and cranks.The proof is in new memebers where a t pro topic comes up once a week about broken parts on there bikes.Sooner or later ull want a eno or profile/king but the acs on the mucsleman will do your for a couple months if u read the lock ring topics under frequantley asked questions.

hardcore_raver Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) you just have to have them done up very tightly and you're all good to go!yes if you like to destroy the taper on the cranks, i would suggest maybe checking the torque settings for the cranks, i believe its 60Nm although manufacturers reccomendations may vary.theres nothing wrong with most onza cranks, i used a set of armstrongs (on 26") and didnt have any problems in the time i used them.

The ACS freewheel is ok for a little while isnt it? But is it possible to use a bashring on it?Thanks again, Schyoelsveek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I think you can use a bash ring... but dont quote me on that. Im sure I've seen someone with a bash ring onMaybe someone will reply after this saying if Im right or wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it possible to use a bashring on it?Thanks again, Schyoelsveek make sure you check length dude. also, dont follow manufactorors torque settings, put all your force into tightening untill you cant turn anymore.

_skj0lsvik_ Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 "mat" accepts no responsability for you shearing your bolts. I`ve never followed the manufactors torque setting... Just put it tight and check it often is the way forward I think the arms are like 165 or 170 long, which is fine for me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
