Kenny--Trials Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 There was someone on here a few months back who had a skull. After 1 month of riding it he had snapped the downtube in half. I dont know how hard he was riding, but after a months riding? Plus- A higher bb results in a nicer feeling on the rear wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty221ti Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 just a quick quiestion, how would it be to have 170/175 cranks on a mod? btw i have 165 try-all and they are just awesome, i prefer them over my old monty ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 According to mark from tartybikes 175 cranks are great on mods. I rode them on a manus and it was super sweet but I've never had longer than 165 on my mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 According to mark from tartybikes 175 cranks are great on mods. I saw this too and needed some new cranks at the time; I wasn’t too confident with going all the way from 160mm to 175mm but I thought I should give a longer crank a go. I ended up buying some 170mm Try-All cranks and have loved them since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
