Mild Depression Sinks In - Cranks


Phil H

Recommended Posts

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

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.

Cheers dude. (Tarty Bikes all the way) I had a look at these echo cranks as a possibility:

If you do buy those echo 6061's u need to buy an onza screw-on and a bashring if u dont have bashplate

Oh yeh good point...that will all add up. 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?
