  3. Depends on what you're comparing them to as well? What was it you
    ordered? It might be worth your while sending them back? (unless they
    sent you better/more expensive ones by mistake! 😉 )

    I started out with Qu-Ax ISIS 114 on my freestyle profi...but because
    I'm a n00b I hadn't tightened the pedals enough and I wrecked the
    thread so they only got 3 days of light use (but were good for that).

    I replaced them with these: http://tinyurl.com/yokgxv in 125mm form.

    I've taken them on some light muni and light hops and they are good
    enough for me (as a beginner, and only weighing 120ish lbs) but not
    sure how well they'd hold up under heavy use.

  4. I just got some Qu-ax 114's for my Coker (square taper) and they're
    beautiful. I think they're great.

    If you weigh 230 and you're doing Street riding with a square taper
    axle, you have to either keep it very mild, or expect cranks to
    eventually bend/hubs to break. These look like very fine cranks though.

    I'm running the 125 ST version on my 36 and the ISIS version on my
    hockey uni. Both are fantastic for their respective uses, but for
    street would be questinoable.
