Qu-ax lightweight ISIS cranks for trials
Hi everyone, Sometime this year (hopefully) I will be building up a new trials uni. I'm going for light but strong. Originally, I was going to get 'Tensile cranks' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1068), however they are very expensive. Moments are heavy for my liking (at 610 grams) as are qu-ax CrMo ISIS (at 510 grams). So I was looking around and saw the 'qu-ax aluminum ISIS cranks' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1072). Very cheap, very light (at around 380 grams) but it says they are not recommended for big jumping. They are so cheap that I wouldn't really mind getting a pair and seeing if they will hold up. I am pretty easy on my equipment. The thing is, if I get the aluminum qu-ax ISIS cranks and they bend, is there a chance that the bending will damage the hub? I have no experience with bent cranks, so I would appreciate it if you guys let me know whether there would be any risk to my hub if the cranks bent.

would seem unlikely, the material your axle is made from is much harder than the crank material. I have these cranks on my hockey uni, and the ST versions on my 36er, and they are wonderful bits of kit. Might well be worth a shot if you're not going to go too big or you have good form. Can't imagine they'd be too good for crank grabs as the edge is heavily rounded off. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71104 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

yeah at worst the crank will snap. I'd be quite up for trying them as well actually, cause they come in loads of sizes so you could easily give different sizes a go. shame they are 145mm, the difference is suprisingly nasty between 140 and 145 on a 19" wheel -- brendan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brendan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13680 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71104 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Ahh lucky, building a Trials Uni would be sooo much fun! If I were you, this is all the stuff I would buy 'Saddle' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=953) 'Seatpost' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1069) 'Seatpost Clamp' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1206) 'Frame' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1073) 'Tire' (http://tinyurl.com/5v7q9k) 'Rim' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=806) 'Hub' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1071) 'Cranks' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=956) 'Pedals' (http://tinyurl.com/4r3abb) I think that would be light, yet very strong. Have fun building it though!
