Kris Holm Moment or Nimbus Venture cranks?

deathbyunicycle · 2012-04-21, 02:48 PM

which is better?

municycledotca · 2012-04-21, 02:52 PM

moments are stronger, but weigh more.

Better is a hard term as it depends on your usage - but assuming you want it for trials the moments are probally what your looking for.

I was going to ask some friends for some specific input regarding this, but since this thread is here and rather vague, I may come in and 'hijack' a bit.

I understand KH moments are better for flat (and not just due to the rollos), but HOW much better are they compared to ventures? considering width and Q-factor.

May seem like a frivolous question, but I'm short on money. I'm more than happy to upgrade if they will make a considerable improvement in my riding, however.

My first muni came with Venture cranks. Later I got some used Moments for a good price. The most noticeable difference was the offset. I prefer the offset of Moments (as well as Sinz, Echo and other cranks that have similar offset). I feel more stable and I don't hub my heel on the crank arms as much. I'm looking forward to the new, hopefully lighter, Moments.

definately the moment cranks, they are so super strong and you can drill the hell out of them to make them lighter, rodger from UDC informed me that no one hasever broken them (appart from people that have drilled them/misused them) im riding these at the moment and they are great

worth every penny

hunterthompson · 2012-04-24, 02:07 PM

Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever broken a pair of Ventures IIs?

knoxuni · 2012-04-30, 07:20 PM

my venture IIs are super bent.

hunterthompson · 2012-05-01, 12:28 AM

How'd you bend them?

knoxuni · 2012-05-01, 01:26 AM

5ft drop to flat. im 220 pounds and on a 26in muni

hunterthompson · 2012-05-01, 01:45 AM

Haha that'll do it. I don't see myself doing any 5ft drops let alone 5 inch drops in the near future plus I'm 110lbs so they should hold up fine for me.

knoxuni · 2012-05-01, 01:49 AM

oh they will be great. i rode with a guy today doing 7ft drops with 125s

Tall tale?

The Ventures are plenty strong, same aluminum alloy as the Moments.

The real difference is in the Q factor, Moments have lots of Q, Ventures have practically none, so it depends on what you prefer.

I like a wider stance because I feel like a broader base gives me more control, while others have said that they like to have their feet in closer to improve flow and spin.

For Q factor comparisons only, the Ventures are like Tensiles and K1, the Moments are like QuAx streets and QuAx cast aluminum cranks.

The Ventures are super light, so if you are all about weight then get the Venture II. I have not bent a pair and I have not seen a pair bent. Call UDC and ask them if they have warranteed any bent Ventures.

'kin hell I was chuffed with my 1ft drop

That is pretty epic

Now that is Moment crank territory!

Nurse Ben · 2012-05-02, 05:59 PM

Can't see it from work, but I'll assume it is a big drop, SO my only response is:

Why are you hot shot unicyclists not meeting me to ride? Open invitation, I ride three to four times a week...

Wait, maybe you are only good at dropping/falling off stuff, but can't ride over/up/through natural terrain?

Me thinks some young men need to come meet me for some trail riding...

Yes, the gauntlet has been thrown down!
