I am buying some new cranks for my uni just to get around on the street. I am buying 125mm. Are there other places to buy cranks other than unicycle.com? I plan on buying a Torker LX uni later on...are cranks interchangeable so I can buy the Torker ones now and swap'em later? Also, are there certain tools I need to swap cranks? Lastly, I think I have cotterless cranks, but am not sure. I attached a couple of pics of my cranks. Can anyone tell me what kind I have? Thanks for anwering all my questions...I don't know what I would do without you guys!
Yeah you can swap em but don’t get the lx it’s a peice of shit. I only had mine for four months and if you do get the lx chang cranks and pedals they broke on mine and I tocoed my rim from on measly 4 foot drop from a.
Those are cotterless cranks also known as square taper cranks. You can swap cranks as often as you like. You will need a 14mm wrench to remove the nut holding the crank on and you will need a crank puller to remove the crank
I’d say just order from Udc. A bike shop doesn’t usually have short cranks like under 175mm. They can order some for you, but they’ll overcharge you way too much. I wanted some 150mm cranks for my old uni, and they wanted like 40$ for them when udc has them for like 12$.
Is this true? I thought on cotterless that removing and reinstalling cranks removed a little metal or otherwise hurt the axle, and should therefore be kept to a minimum.
P.S. I think splined cranks are easier to change, no crank puller.
