Once upon a time on here, someone had machined out most of the inside of a set of moments. Could someone post a link to thread or a picture?
Thanks.
Were these the ones you are talking about?
I had them until quite recently. Great cranks, only reason I sold them was my switch to all outboard disks.
I thought they were mentioned elsewhere but you might have to do a search of lunicycle’s posts for more info, unless the info was in PMs.
The ones I’m thinking of were machined all the way through.
…and broke. I remember them too.
I am supposed to be studying but found the cranks
That’s them, thanks!
Go study!
Another full thread about drilling Moments.
I don’t find the broken Moment that where drilled through with big drilling marks…
Christian Brink rides a set of almost completely drilled out moments. Not just holes but the entire sides. He rides some pretty hard street and they are still going strong. They have gone through 2 or 3 urban riders from what I understand and now he owns them
Here is a video of him riding on them, they appear to take quite a beating.
He doesn’t hop as much and has smoother landings than most I see in vids so that’d make them last longer.
If machining, I think that’s the way to go.
He broke them last year while filming for Renowned Series Street Special. Actually on a handrail to rev out.
Will Riley rode them for a while, someone else as well and lastly Christian Brink rode them for quite a while before braking them… and he does big street stuff.
Moments are VERY strong, you can remove a lot of material before they become weak.
I found the pics and details about the completely machines out Moment cranks that broke. I was on Muni Or Burst’s blog 
Just for the fun of it, I attach his pic (as found on the blog). For more details about the modification and use after, see the blog directly.
I did not go too overkill on mine, and they’ve been holding up alot for a long time! They are now on my trials uni. Still straight! 
They are 137mm Moments, the holes are 3/4". These were not really “machined”, I consider them drilled 
The holes aren’t really straight, I did that before I had any tooling skills haha.

After seeing what KH cranks can withstand, I think I’m going to start buying only KH products.
I need to know how you do that? It used to be easy a few years back, now I can’t figured it out
Thanks!
You have to go advanced, then “manage attachments”, but anything over 800 pixels in either direction wont take. You have to manually edit the pic before uploading. I think an image hosting site is a bit easier, and imgur has multiple sizes to choose from for each image. “Huge Thumbnail” works quite well for the forums. : )
