is there anyplace to buy dx cranks? I'm going to buy the trials dx and was wondering if all of the parts are replacable. I just want to make sure I can get new parts without buying a whole new unicycle. thanks. 🙂

Well you can go to your LBS all the ones I have ever been to out here sell mainly Dx parts. I have replaced most every part from a Bike shop.

Really? All the crappy shops in my area have only square taper cranks, and profile type splined ones.

really? that's awesome! so if I have 170 mm cranks on a 19'' wheel, is it basically going to be impossible to pedal without hitting the ground on each half rotation?

no i have ridden 175s on a 20" which is how big a 19" ends up being anyways its a 2.5" tire on a 15" rim instead of a 2" tire on a 16" rim...
EDIT: it sucks though you don't want anything longer than 150s ... actually ... 140s are plenty long

Unless you ride exclusively trials and don't do much pedaling.

uhh you don't want 175s they are an [censored] and you still want 140s; longer and you WILL bend the huband/or break the cranks more often.

Can you give a link? I'm on the verge of getting a new unicycle, and while the DX is one of my options, I want the option of getting shorter cranks.

I tried searching here and google before I made that post, and came up with nothing.
