max-t Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) hi there buddy.To be totally honest, you are better off with getting a brand new pair of cranks.This way you will know for certain that all of the tapers are in tact , there are no scratches and most importantly you know that the cranks havent been abused.When you buy the cranks your self you also get the lifetime warranty as standard on all middleburn cranks.So if you do the imossible/thought to be impossible thing and break the cranks, middleburn will be more than happy to replace them for free.Its also best to get the longest version,bescause this way you will be able to gap further ,tap higher and generally be better at trials than you would be with the short ones.When you do buy them get the isis version and you will be laughing.Max....

Tommy d Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Personally I would go for new ones, they will last you so long that it's worthwhile to spend the extra.As for square taper vs ISIS, read this thread:http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....60&hl=taper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm pretty sure the longest cranks thing is bollocks? Yeah you will theoretically have more leverage but if you dont like the feel then you won't be able to get the most out of the bike.It's personal choice, i went from 175 to 165 cranks and prefer the feel.
