AX cranks with adaptors, or new cranks?

mtb Dad said:

I have a pair of shimano ax cranks with the large pedal hole, in good
condition, and am thinking of using them for a winter bike. I don't
want to use the big pedals. So, is it better to spring for the adpators

for $34US, or buy some used conventional cranks. Could the large crank
and adaptor combined be more resistant to breaking, making it worth the
hasssle? Any thoughts? Thx

Adapters work fine...yer not going to get this quality crank for $34...

I can't address the specifics of your question but I've been using a
set of these with adapters for years and they have been trouble free.
