Caleb Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Deoresare better imo , powerpro = babybell like hardness (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTTY___ Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I havent tryed them. But i know someone who does. They seem OK for the money, just keep and tight and dont thrash the bollox of them! And they should be fine. Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 For trials, or XC? PowerPros for trials I say, Deore for XC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'm not that up to date on Shimano stuff but arn't Deores hollowtech and therefore not exactly ideal for trials? I wouldn't recommend Powerpros either, its best to save for some decent cranks, you can get Middleburns second hand for about £70, its cheaper in the long run.

Endohopper Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) I ran a set of square taper Deore cranks for a few months , they seemed to hold up pretty well . Some guy on Observed trials . net managed to machine a pair of Shimano Deores to accept a front freewheel ! Looked pretty cool .

Danny Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I friend of mine had some deore hollowtechs 2-3 years ago and they withstood some right abuse in the end the only thing that went wrong with them was that the spider came loose.

TomN Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have Deores at the moment and they seem good for trials I bash alot and they are holding up, got a Truvativ Bash on aswell. Go for the Deores (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 deores are like cockroaches. there shit, and you know it but tough and hard to kill. they'll stand up fine for most stuff. and there very cheap. might as well try them (Y) mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Back in the day I used to run De-Whores and a buddy of mine ran Powerpros - he had to replace his cranks, I didn't. Though maybe they've changed for newer models. So perhaps are more XC orientated. I'd say the deore's are generally better, seemed more rigid, and nice pair of cranks to use until you've got enough money for Middleburns or Tensiles. Plus if that Marko Blau dude can/did run a pair, anyone can (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Powerpro's any day (Y) Just make sure you keep them tight ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) deores anyday! had 3 sets, 1 messed up cos the bb snapped and took a huge chunk of taper with it (Y) and the other 2 sets i sold, still worked fine though, dahhhnhillallalaal had 1 set of mine so ask him ;) they are light, cheap and work fine, may be worth lookin at the octalink versions as they are prob stronger in the bb department (i hate square tapers :) ) power pros on the other hand..................RIP lol Edited May 6, 2005 by pauloliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
