I keep on going into the reviews section hoping to see info on new products, instead there is requests for info. Seems to me that is what the New Article/Tutorial Request section is for.

Nimbus Venture Cranks
Hello
I am sending out a pair to 3 riders - one trials - one street - one muni These riders have been given instructions to put the cranks thur there paces. We will see what they find - since it is a new product and all. they are a good crank - designed to be a step below the KH moments should be good for the pocket book for intermediate riders. P |

Yea, something in between might be useful.
I think I remember somebody saying that these cranks won't be quite compatible with the isis Schlumpf hub. Unfortunately. Because if they were there would be a lighter long distance isis crank.

Some lenght like 139 or 140mm will be better suited for trials indeed.
But aren't there any pictures of the cranks? Like to see them. Never mind, allready found them: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1347 There just Ugly with a big U, like a realy cheap rip-off from the K1 Light cranks. Except the Light cranks are beautifull...

If they came in 130 I'd get them but I already have enough cranks at other sizes.

Venture Cotterless cranks
I just put a pair of Nimbus Venture Cotterless cranks--125 mm--on my Nimbus titan 36". They are much more solid that the 150 mm cranks that came with it. I am not sure how similar they are to the ISIS version, but they look like they will hold up well.
Now the only problem is that I am not accustomed to 125 mm cranks. I ended up running out of a UPD at speed this afternoon. I cannot run any faster, so there was a definite adrenalin rush and a bruised foot from the experience. It is easy to build up speed with the shorter cranks! |

i feel like i've seen these cranks before.... just can't seem to figure out where, or who was marketing them. i'd buy 140's, the sizes they're currently offered in are good, but it'd be nice to see something available in the middle for trials as well.

These were sold about 4-5 years ago under the name "Nimbus X" cranks

It looks to me that they can save allot more weight by rounding off the edges to the maximum.

I don't think the photo is the right one. I found this thumbnail on the UDC site, and if you click it the ugly ones come up. Not that these are beautiful, but much better looking than the other pix.

I'd probably get a pair if they came out with 140 though. |
