Been Away...Have Some Questions

1. With the increased number of ISIS axles and cranks that are
available, is there any remaining advantage of Profile hubs and
cranks--especially given the still-high price?

little, especially given their bad track-record with living up to their
warranty claims

2. To what extent does leg length play when selecting a crank length.
For example, I'm 5'9", but I have a long torso and short legs. In
college, one of my nicknames was 'Barney,' for Barney Rubble of the
Flinstones. You get the idea. I've only been riding trials, but I'm
thinking about a muni. In the choice between 150mm and 165mm crank
arms on a 24" muni, do my short legs (29" pants inseam) enter into the
decision?

I would say the terrain you intend to ride has a far greater influence
on crank length.

I can't imagine a reason to buy a Profile hub these days. They were
great when they were the only spline out there, but now there is
lighter, cheaper equipment of similar or greater quality.

Leg length can play a small factor in deciding on crank length, but
generally the trend these days is to use shorter cranks anyway. So if
you were 6'3" with long legs, you might think about the 165mm cranks,
but since you have short legs, and most people are running 150mm
cranks, stick with the shorter ones.
