crank type?

I prefer the pinch bolt design. It feels more secure to me.

Both designs are great though, cause as you can see, some of the
strongest cranks have a pinch bolt, and others dont.

Both designs are very sturdy and will secure the crank to the hub.

As for the design of the cranks, its almost a preference thing.

The cranks on my DX are tubular, and I love them for when I stand on
them to do seatdrops, or leg wraps. The curve on them does make it so I
can slide my feet around them with ease, which is good for going in and
out of standing out of the cranks, or if I cuff a landing and land on
the cranks, I can easily move my feet to the pedal.

The fatter, rectangular ones would be better, because your foot would
be on a flat surface, without a slope to it, so you would be secure
standing on them.

I dont like thinner cranks though, cause my feet dont feel secure on
them, and it seems like I can slip off them easier than the fatter
cranks on my DX.

are slide on cranks or pinch bolt cranks better? and how about the round
tubular ones vursus the square-ish ones like KH moments?

Pinch-bolts add length to the cranks and are another part sticking out,
meaning that is one more opportunity to snag e.g. your pants and injure
yourself, but they are easier to install and remove.

I like normal cranks better than pinch bolt. The pinch bolt cranks, like
the guy obove said may snag pants, and are more likely to sqeek. I don
know, but most of the good Uni cranks like KH and Profile dont have
pinch bolts. If there was a good reason to keep them on Im sure Kris
Holm would have done it.

I agree, I have snagged my pants on the pinchbolt part of my cranks
several times.

For their price, yes, they are the best.

I havent snagged my pants on my cranks though, for the first ride with
them I did, but I never do it now.

if you wear emo pants they dont and if you dont like to wear pants 20
sizes too small take some rubber bands and wrap them around the ankles
of your pants
