Rumplestiltskin Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Go for the Middleburns - had mine for years and they're still perfect. If you get the ISIS ones you'll probably never have to buy another set of cranks in your life. Several of my mates have run the Tensiles and they've cracked within about a year or so.

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 tensiles...just to be different and theyre what i have!not had them long but definitely no problems with them so far and i've gone pretty big on them already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Tensiles all the way for me! I've had them for a year now and there's no problems what so ever, my mate has a middleburn and the non drive side crank arm rounded off at the pedal, after i saw this happen I didn't think a crank of this quality would do that so easily. Thats why I prefer tensiles as they have inserts for the pedal which can be replaced if rounded I run tensiles for a Mod bike but I would consider some middleburns when I move onto Stock. So overall in my opinion, it depends on what bike you ride, go for the Tensiles for a 20" and a middleburn for a 26"Nile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Heard of way too many tensiles snapping for me to trust them. My burns are nice though, and have taken a fair beating.I do like the rugged industrial look of the tensiles but the burns look nice too in a completely different, sleek, smooth way.

Mike W Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 The real problem i have with middleburns is the price :| you must have to be pretty harsh to snap cranks anyway right ?thanksmike W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooeyridestrials Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I would go for Tensiles.......1. They are what i have just put on my Adamant, i had Middleburns on there before and the Tensiles look sooo much nicer IMHO (They shiney for starters), i also like the fact that you can spin the outer part of the bashring if you mangle it to bad 2. BE DIFFERENT, everyone rides Middleburns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
