  1. Hey,

    Im thinking of getting a koxx with 110 cranks but dont know if it will
    be alright to jump on, i like jumping with 115 but will that 5mm make
    any differnce?

  2. I don't think anyone's tried trials on anything less than 127s. Those
    are the smallest splined cranks you can get apart from the koxx isis,
    and thats in the UK, on a KH/Onza hub. Profiles don't go anywhere near
    110s. I liked the drop from my 140s to my 127s, got lots more speed and
    didn't really affect my stability, I say go for it.

    Loose.

  8. I think they are pretty sexy cranks, and everyone seems to like the
    smaller splined cranks for trials. Plus the smaller ones look beefier
    (but that may be a camera trick) and I would imagine that they are
    stronger because there is less of a lever effect with the shorter
    crank.

    ...on a slick tire 20" right? instead of a huge heavy trials tire.

    I would GUESS that 110's are too small. But what do I know.

  12. I think 110 would be to short for a trials tire, but should be good for
    a slick bmx tire. I have the 125 koxx cranks with a luna trials tire
    and they are great. I dont think you would be able to break the 110
    because there wouldent be enough leverage bu then it might come out
    from under you on big dops.

  13. i rode street with 110 koxx1 cranks for quite a while and they held up
    fine, and i grinded on them alot, and hopped some sets. as far as
    hopping height goes i don't think the short cranks hurt or helped my
    hopping, but i could pedal faster and they made everything feel alot
    more smooth.

  15. I'm definately going to get 127mm cranks rather than 140mm.

    Nearly everyone I have heard has said that they prefered smaller cranks
    to larger ones for trials/street.
