is there anyplace to buy dx cranks? I’m going to buy the trials dx and was wondering if all of the parts are replacable. I just want to make sure I can get new parts without buying a whole new unicycle. thanks. 🙂 ---

Well you can go to your LBS all the ones I have ever been to out here sell mainly Dx parts. I have replaced most every part from a Bike shop. ---

Qu-Ax cranks will fit. UDC only has 170 mm, but I the only place where I could find other size options was [here](http://www.unicycle.se/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=240)at www.unicycle.se ---

I’m pretty sure qu-ax cranks don’t fit a dx. ---

really? that’s awesome! so if I have 170 mm cranks on a 19’’ wheel, is it basically going to be impossible to pedal without hitting the ground on each half rotation? ---

> [@gordito8me](#): > > really? that’s awesome! so if I have 170 mm cranks on a 19’’ wheel, is it basically going to be impossible to pedal without hitting the ground on each half rotation? no i have ridden 175s on a 20" which is how big a 19" ends up being anyways its a 2.5" tire on a 15" rim instead of a 2" tire on a 16" rim… EDIT: it sucks though you don’t want anything longer than 150s … actually … 140s are plenty long ---

> [@skilewis74](#): > > Unless you ride exclusively trials and don’t do much pedaling. uhh you don’t want 175s they are an arse and you still want 140s; longer and you WILL bend the huband/or break the cranks more often. ---
