Default Crank hangs: Good or Bad?


Not being up myself, but i am awesome,
just kidding, but not really,
I have been riding for quite a long time, and was wondering, as i know
i can do crank hangs, are they bad for ur uniycle over a long period of
time, or
they have lesss effect than a turtle in a tornado?

there not realy that bad but thay can chip off paint and that can cause
rust. Also if you can brake your pedals (i have did that once) but this
is very hard to do. If your realy wored about it learn pedal grabs than
you mont mess up the cranks

Are you talking about crank grabs or is that a different thing.
PS. Koxx ISIS cranks are aluminium and wont rust.

Ya, I think pedal hangs are pedal grabs with out going to rubber and
crank hangs are crank grabs without going to rubber.

Crank grabs are fine. remember, people grind on their cranks, and that
doesn't screw 'em up too bad. if you're worried about it, you can
learn pedal grabs instead, just land on the pedal and go from there.

If you're riding a trials uni then the cranks have been specifically
designed for that treatmewnt, they'll be fine.
