I kinda remember reading somewhere that you can't get Profile cranks
very short, but what are the shortest length you can get?

And I don't suppose there are any non-profile cranks that can fit on a
profile hub, are there?

The shortest length you can buy stock is somewhere between 145mm and
150mm.

You can custom machine the Profile cranks to make them shorter. Greg
Moore made a pair of 126mm Profile cranks. 'Thread about them here'
(http://tinyurl.com/y4hlm7). 'Gallery pictures here'

So it can be done. Requires a machine shop and welding. Will void any
warranty.

Probably, but a shorter crank is stronger than a longer one anyway. I
think...should be.

Well I have no skill with machining or anything at all. I just want
shorter cranks so I can do freestyle/street on my trials unicycle that
has profiles...but I guess to go shorter I would need to get a new hub,
which wouldn't really be worth it.
