Phil H Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I have bent my driveside crank (square taper stock cranks on an onza t-rex spec 1). After close inspection it has become clear that the crank is bent and not the bottom bracket. This is a complete pain as I've been riding hours and hours everyday and can't get enough of it. I now have a few options...1. Replace the driveside crank - can do right away.2. Purchase a better set of square taper cranks to fit bb - just got enough money for.3. Purchase an ISIS bb and a new set of ISIS cranks - havent got enough money for.What do you think should be done?Is ISIS much better than square taper in your opinion?(Please include what cranks you would recommend for the option you reacon)Any help will be greatly appreciated.Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 At last some feedback . See the thing is I dont have a spare drive side crank, so ou think I should just buy any old trials crank to get me back out there?phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Stick with square, cheaper and bearing life is longer. I would upgrade your cranks, to something along the lines of 'burns, or tensiles. Check out >>Clicky<< or >>clicky<< for cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does an Onza screw on cost? Is it as strong as in one piece?Yeh I got the bashplate from my onza cranks, its a four bolt. But if its an onza screw on it may fit?Phil PaRtZ said: I can say the gu cranks are very nice indeed No doubt they are but abit out of my price range for the time being Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
