there´s no beef luke,all I was saying is,that those cranks doesn´t fit most of the trial bikes here,and I would say it´s important as this is trials forum.I´m not saying anything about hope parts or any non-trials branded parts,like I said before,all those parts you named have one thing in common,they fit on all bikes,becase they use some standard sizing(tires)/threads(pedals)/mounts(vees,disc),for cranks,there isn´t such a thing in trials oriented market and it´s sad,because a lot of mtb/dh manufacturers offer interesting parts that are better than actual trials specific parts,the only problem and I think it´s quite important is,they don´t fit.do you think I wouldn´t use slx cranks which are stiffer lighter and maybe stronger than trials specific cranks/BB combo?Of course I would,I´m not a moron,but I can´t do that and I don´t think I ever will be able to do that,because shimano doesn´t need to produde screw on version or even 18t version of those cranks for such a small market as trials is.See?I know there´s plenty of parts better designed than trial parts outside of trials world wich I use,if they fit.What´s wrong about stating the obvious?
