DGrabiec Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Used the search and nothing much came up so... Does anyone have any experience with the try-all isis cranks? Are they strong? Are they made of cheese? Are they quality cranks? Any info is would be grand!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anodised Adamant Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 yes the try all cranks are good and strong as well as the echo or zoo cranks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Mine have lasted me over a year now. Not a thing has gone wrong with them.They're solid, give better brake clearance than Middleburns and are black, need I say more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) try-alls are good how do they make the tryall cranks, are they forged? 'cause they don't realy look CNCed Edited May 21, 2007 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) light stiff strong... got them on my karbon top cranks very happy... basically what ash-kennard said Edited May 21, 2007 by streetjibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Iv never heard of many IF any breaking, the strong point of them is "cold forging" its a stronger process for durability than CNC'They look the BO**OX too black, or if you wish to do them silver strip the colour off.Waynio...............................

You'll only weaken cranks if you remove excess material in the wrong places, or create stress risers by sudden geometry changes.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC machining AFTER forging will not change the grain structure at all, as heat is required to do this (that's why aluminium is often heat treated). How do you know echo are 'completly' cnc'd? I'd say they are more likely forged to a rough shape required, and then cnc finished, otherwise deng is a stupid fanny and wasting tonnes of material......Echo are completely CNC'd meaning the grain flow isnt effected as its from a single solid block all cut in the same direction!What? have you ever seen a cnc machine work? they cut in whatever manner is quickest.look at this, these cuts are not in the same direction. This is for a crank arm that's sitting beside me after having been cnc machined this morning.HjK8GrSuNVw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil Jsy Chris Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have a pair of Try All cranks and think they are brilliant. There strong and light. I would also recommend a pair of Echo cranks.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Try-All isis are good value compared to others available, mine give me no problems, stay tight and straight.Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
