Hey. I'm just getting back into mountain biking after a neumber of years off and I'm seeing that the industry is moving away from the square taper crank interface. What are the best cranks out there that still use the square taper interface? Truvative doesn't on their high end cranks and neither does Raceface. Kooka is out of business. Anyone know anything about Roox cranks? 😕

I think most manafacturers are moving away from it and some day soon they will be dead... jump on the wagon like i did and just get a new bottom bracket (usually for a fraction of the crank price).

I agree. Just about any splined crank is far superior to square tapered. I have been riding a splined XT for a couple of years now, and it has not gotten warped at the BB yet. I cant say the same for every other Crank I have ever had.
