I agree, bending cranks sucks, but Monty's won't fix that. I'd get
something splined if you regularly bend cranks. Or just don't focus on
big drops. I haven't done a drop greater than 30" for the last 2
weeks.
To keep this on topic, I'm soon to be selling my Onza wheel (not because
it is any worse off than before, but simply because I just got a set of
profiles, and I don't think it's worth it to tear apart this wheel just
for the rim). It's 19" trials with 140mm cranks, dx-32 rim, 40 spline
single keyway hub, 40mm bearings, missing the right dustcap. No tire
included although I will send along an 8mm allen wrench for thightening
the cranks. The bolt on the left crank is hard to tighten, but it is
doable. The rim is pretty true, the spokes are tensioned, although I
have replaced 2 spoke nipples. There are a few superficial scratches
from removing the tire, but otherwise the wheel isn't bad. This is by no
means a new wheel, so I'm selling it at a price that I deem to fit. I
was thinking of charging around $75, including shipping. This wheel is
not for you if you are doing giant drops regularly, or if you are
dropping over 3' to flat with bad form. I have noticed a bit of spline
or keyway play occasionally, but it's not about to break. I keep all the
splines anti-seized.
The wheel is definitely stronger than any non-splined setups out there
(except muniac, which costs around $250), but I repeat, it's definitely
not new and has plenty of use on it. There are extensive grind marks on
the left crank, and a bit of scratches on the right one. These shouldn't
weaken it any. I think this is a good intermediate wheel. Basically, if
you are bending lots of bike euro's but not ready to shell out the money
for a new KH or Onza, this could be for you. I probably won't be selling
this wheel for another week or two, but if you are interested please PM
me.

army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?
