Stripped cranks & isis hub

I don't have moments,

But what tool do I need to tighten my cranks to my hub. I've never
known to do that. I haven't felt my cranks come loose, but I have
stripped them before.

If you're using 'this'
(http://unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1238) Isis bolt then you
need an 'allen wrench'
(http://www.esolids.com/images/allen-wrench-4112.jpg).
Your cranks should be fine if you have never taken them off or if they
have never come loose.

I've only ever taken them off to get new ones.

Also, will that allen wrench tight the crank? I thought I might have
to use a tool similar to a crank puller.

That 'this' is not an isis bolt, 'this'
(http://unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1067) is isis. I made that
mistake 2 days ago. Luckily, I caught my mistake just after placing the
order and UDC corrected things for me.

I was wondering weather to do tire rotations or cranck rotations to
solve the problem of tire wear in one spot. I actually wrote to Kris
about this issue. This is what he had to say.

"As long as you put a little grease on the splines and line them up
strait and don't over tighten them you should be able to take them off
and put them back on hundreds of times without a problem."

I rotate the Moment cranks on my KH20 2007 and KH24 2007 every two
months (I have owned the 24 for almost 2 years and the 20 for a year and
a half) and I see no wear on the splines. The 24x3 Duro is almost
completely bald by now but with very even wear due to the rotations. All
my fellow riders laugh at how bald the tire is. I will change it to the
new Arrow Wide bite 224x3 a couple weeks before ELSBET. Many times new
splines will have some shavings left on them from the manufacturing
process. This does not mean that you have stripped them. I use the ISIS
crank puller to remove the cranks and only tighten it up with the Allen
wrench until it is snugg and then maybe an extra eight of a turn. If you
over tighten or give the crank a few thumps with a hammer you runt he
risk of "squishing" the splines.
