  1. I was looking for some new pedals for my trials uni and got distracted,
    'this' (http://tinyurl.com/pu4lu) is what i found. What do you think?
    Probably alright for Muni, but they are square taper. Its a shame that
    the other bmx cranks are so long because they would be great for
    trials.

    Rock on!

  2. They are cool but they are sqaure taper, so it wouldn't be that strong.
    And if your getting new pedals i highly recomend animal hamilton
    pedals, they are pretty new. They're like jim c's but lighter.

  3. Im looking at getting some DK Iron cross pedals, maybe! They have 60
    pins! They are almost solid plates, I want to grind one side completly
    flat for grinds. Maybe a cheap set on ebay.

    Rock on!

    Those cranks aren't a square taper like you think. They won't fit any
    available unicycle hub. They're a special design by Primo BMX. They
    fit an oversized square spindle, and I don't think the square spindle
    has a taper. Here's a picture of the Primo bottom bracket with the
    oversized square spindle for their Powerbite cranks. Pic is from
    DansComp.com

    Oh, didn't realise that the primo spindle was oversized! Thanks for
    clearing that up JC!
    I wonder if an oversized square axle would be comparable to a splined
    axle on a unicycle. Might be worth investigating.

    Rock on!

  6. i dont want to sound dumb or anything, what are the grub screws on the

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  7. The grub screws are to eliminate any play in the cranks, overkill if you
    ask me. There should not be any play if the cranks and axle are
    machined to tolerance correctly, unless they are damaged when they are
    fitted.

    Rock on!
