Cranks: A step up from TruVativ's Stylo?
Per a thread I just initiated in ...Tech, I may or may not have toasted my
drive-side crank. I'm also getting a "tick" sound from the other crank at about 2 o-clock under load. Last time something like this started happening the crank broke roughly in half.... In the event that I fry the drive side trying to get around a broken self-extractor and/or I can't make this tick go away, it's new crankset time... Anybody care to venture a step up from TruVative's Stylo (i.e. maybe a little lighter/stronger/more durable) that will fit the same ISIS splined BB interface?. This is nothing against what I've got....no complaints about the TruVativ....but I might want to try something different just on GPs. -- PeteCresswell |

RE/
that will fit the same ISIS splined BB interface?. Upon reflection.... seems like there SB something that fits that interface, but with a open-ring/pinch-bolt strategy...that would get around the need for a crank extractor. Any such thing in a quality product? -- PeteCresswell |

I thought the lockrings were a great idea until one burst open while trying to
remove a crank. Now, I'm not so sure... I think I found the root cause. Seems that, although the splined shaft interface is standardized, the crank-attachment bolts/extractor rings are not. I managed to wind up with bolts from maker "A" and extractor rings from maker "B". About 1-2mm diff....enough to blow out the extractor ring when the going gets rough..... Lesson learned: purchase/install crank bolts & extractor rings as a system. |

He said he was gonna try the White Industries Eno next. I'm going to let him be the beta tester. :-) G |
