I do trials unicycling and have been using 140 mm Lasco cranks for about a year. Over time the square holes that fit on the hub have been rounded of, so the cranks stay very loose. I want to buy some inexpensive cranks that will last longer than the Lascos and the Doteks seem like a good choice.
Will the Doteks fit on a suzue hub?
Will they stand up to 3ft drops with a 130-150 pound rider? (I hope that they will last some time even after I grow more)
Thank you.
you might as well get lasco’s again as they are cheap and try and save up for a splined wheel set.

It will fit. I think a better choice is the Bike Euros. I hear a lot of good things about them.

Trials and ordinary aluminum cranks don’t go together. The bicycle Euro steel ones are better if you are on a tight budget. I’ve used tried both Lasco and Dotek and while the Doteks are a little better (what wouldn’t be?) they are not for trials at all.

If you like the 140 mm (5.5 inch) length you could try the Schwinn steel cranks. They’ll be stronger and hold up better than any of the aluminum 140 mm cranks. I’ve been using the 140 mm Schwinn cranks on my Coker with a widened Suzue hub. The Schwinn cranks fit just fine on a Suzue hub.
why are doteks so much more expensive then bike euros if bike euros are better
i don’t know, but doteks blow hard. 1 foot drops, hopping up stairs… enough to make em bend
I used lascos a while ago and they bent after 10mins of use.
the best square cranks I have used are euros. they lasted longer than a set of Black Widows I had.
It would be cool if you could by euros by the piece, insted of shelling out $25 for a set every time one bends.
