  1. I'm going to get a Nimbus Trials for my birthday this month and saw that
    people said that the cranks stripped. Could this problem be solved by
    getting new cranks, and if so which ones?(I don't know much a cranks and
    crank brands.)

    Thanks,
    Carson

    Edit... next time, post something like this in JC, and a string of
    question marks does not constitute a title.
    I was drooling over all those spools.

  2. If you strip the cranks, you'll probably bend the hub too.... it's not
    splined. There is the option of just re building the wheel with a
    splined hub and crankset... or just buy a Qu-Ax.. the Nimbus is so much
    cheaper because the hub is just a square tapered hub.

    If that uni came with a splined crankset it'd be a lot better..
    everything else is there except the right hub.

  4. even though the SPLINED Qu-Ax uni on UDC is backordered into late
    september, it has really good reviews. i ordered one, and now i can't
    wait to see it get here in the mail. From what i've heard, the picture
    in the site does it no justice, and the thing performs as good as it
    looks.

  10. I think my 140mm kh/onza cranks is a bit to long, but i'm not planning
    to buy a pair of shorter cranks, too expensive!

    I'lg probably get a par of 5" instead..

  11. I like the 140mm's I have on my KH. Trials is about control, and that
    means a large crank-length to wheel-diameter ratio.

  12. i like the 140s i have on my trials, if i was better/more "street"
    focused i'd probably get a pair of 127s. more speed, better turning,
    all that freestyle [censored].
