Nimbus Cranks.

I haven't used either the Nimbus or the BEs, but I heard good things
about both.

I do know that KH cranks (or any other splinded cranks) will NOT work on
the Nimbus axle.

I had the standard cranks on for a while and they held up fine until I
got splined set up. The Bicycle Euros are pretty good, I had them on my
muni before I got a KH set, though I did bend two sets, though they were
150s and 170s. I *think* the Nimbus X cranks are lighter, but apart from
that I don't know.

the BE 125's take awhile to bend but once they start going they go
quickly or mine did, i went through 2 sets, theyre cheap and good value
though.
for the price of the nimbus x cranks in addition to the nimbus trials
uni cant you get a Qu-ax splined trials uni, well more or less anyway?

i have found that square tapered cranks are really unreliable. I have
had Sun generic cranks that lasted for months, United cranks that lasted
for under an hour, and BE cranks that lasted for a weekend. I have the
nimbus x cranks on my muni right now and have ridden muni maybe four or
five times with them. they have not bent yet, but still they have
lasted longer than the United cranks and about the same as the BE
cranks.

so my suggestion is for the nimbus x cranks, but if you did a poll, i
think more people would suggest the BEs.

plus, try searching for threads about this, as there are quite a few.
there are probably some one the first or second (or third) page of the
Product Reviews section.

I'm more worried about the KH cranks fitting the frame. It seems that
something with a 140mm length will hit the frame when they reach the top
of a rotation. The reason I say this is because the Nimbus frame gets
wider further up the frame. I'll have to test that out some time,
unless one of you guys know what the deal is.

Back on topic: The stock Nimbus cranks on the Nimbus trials are pretty
good, but they will bend if you do more than a few big drops. The
Nimbus X cranks are stronger, but will bend in the same fashion as the
originals. I'd say just save up around $200 and get a splined hub and
crank set. I have not used the BEs, so I cannot offer an opinion.

thats wrong, i have KH crank and hub on my nimbus, and it goes perfect,
i had 2 put in a couple of extra spacers to make the bearings fit the
frame a bit better, but i have had no real dramas.

my 140s dont hit, but it is very close, maybe about 4mm clearances, but
it doesnt seem to have any effect otherwise

Do you mean you have the KH splined cranks and regular nimbus hub or
that you have a KH splined hub and crankset?

lol whoops! im a stupid idiot, i read that wrong. i read it as if you
meant that an ENTIRE splined hub and crankset wouldnt work....i have the
full set. now seeing what you meant, no splined cranks wouldnt work on
the axle 🙂
