laurent Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 They have made some nice stuff in the past, like integrated tensionners, when almost no one was doing it. But it would be nicer if they use some standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Got to agree with the interface - using an HG spline would give people more reasons to buy the cranks or the freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 And thus they could have sell freewheels for crewkerz's user, maybe New GT bike to come users and maybe others in the future. So i really don't understand this "move". In general i really don't understand/like proprietary things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 was me, they stopped replying after i asked for some sort of picture. chances are they are not making them. Has been out there for quite a while. There seems to be at least a single wall rear rim in 24''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 ha. they look shit to me, glad i got trial techs now Yeah. Pretty much like the single wall front rim just wider. I wonder why they don't sell them solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoox Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I ordered a splined freewheel by mistake and instead of returning it I thought I'd go deeper down the rabbit hole and also order a pair of splined TR cranks to go with it and give it ago. The cranks arrived today but the retailer forgot to include the spacers, so now I have an excuse to return them If I don't think they are good enough. I put them on the kitchen scales and they weigh the same as the old threaded TR cranks: The crank itself, before CNCing, is the exact same as the old crank. After CNCing, the new cranks has a new cross section. To use I-beam terminology, the new cranks have thinner flanges and a thicker web (the bit in the middle). In the following diagram which shows the crank cross-section, (2) would be the old design, and (3) the new one. As you can see, (2) has a deeper grove but thicker flanges, while (3) has a shallower groove and thinner flanges. I'm not sure this was a good design decision; maybe someone from a mechanical design background can comment. Somehow the old design looks stiffer and beefier: Should I keep 'em or just go for threaded ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
