Koxx Cranks - 135s vs 140s

Hey guys, especially those of you with koxxes,

I'm split for a choice between the new 135s and the regular old 140s.
Any pros and cons of the two and is it worth paying an extra 20 Euros
for them?

Next time please describe how they hamper your performance. I would
disagree and say that the 140s are pretty nice, at least the style of
crank. I have the 110's and I really like them. The main point of the
135's is to make a crank that is good for crankrolls, I would agree
that the aluminum cranks aren't the easiest thing to do crankrolls with
but they really aren't that bad, I still prefer them to the rounded
style cranks, but its a matter of personal preferance really.

Apparently and I believe according to Koxx-one, the 135's are supposed
to be less strong than the 140's, so if strength is a huge issue than
the 140's are better.

Basically it all comes down to what you enjoy having, I love short
cranks so for me both are out of the question, and I really don't see
myself wanting that extra room for crankrolls.

Yea I heard that it's less strong but the 140s are supposed to be
aluminium right? Doesn't that make them slightly weaker or am I wrong?

I'd be interested to do grinds and grabs. I don't think it'd be a
difference for regular hops and crankflips though... just a matter of
getting used to. Is it worth the extra bucks to get 135s for the
crankrolls?

yoggi said the 140's were stronger than the 135's himself.

I thought the major difference was one of Q-factor---the tubular cromo
135s put your pedals much wider apart than the solid aluminium ones
(140, 160, whatever). How much Q-factor you want is a matter of
personal taste---and may vary with intended purpose and/or riding
style---, of course...
