  1. Not being up myself, but i am awesome,
    just kidding, but not really,
    I have been riding for quite a long time, and was wondering, as i know
    i can do crank hangs, are they bad for ur uniycle over a long period of
    time, or
    they have lesss effect than a turtle in a tornado?

  2. there not realy that bad but thay can chip off paint and that can cause
    rust. Also if you can brake your pedals (i have did that once) but this
    is very hard to do. If your realy wored about it learn pedal grabs than
    you mont mess up the cranks

  5. Are you talking about crank grabs or is that a different thing.
    PS. Koxx ISIS cranks are aluminium and wont rust.

  7. Ya, I think pedal hangs are pedal grabs with out going to rubber and
    crank hangs are crank grabs without going to rubber.

  8. Crank grabs are fine. remember, people grind on their cranks, and that
    doesn't screw 'em up too bad. if you're worried about it, you can
    learn pedal grabs instead, just land on the pedal and go from there.

  10. If you're riding a trials uni then the cranks have been specifically
    designed for that treatmewnt, they'll be fine.
