Ok look on the back side of the crank...Its should say a 3 digit number(probly 125 0r 127) thats the length. As for pulling them off just go to the LBS and tell they you need a cotterless crank puller and they will know what to give you. They can show you how to use it aswell if you ask them nicely and if they dont then it should come with instructions. As for a tire any thing thats 20x2.2 or smaller width will fit the LX. EDIT: A quick check on UDC and it says that the Torker LX 20" unicycle has 125mm cranks on it. -- trials_uni TRIALS 4 LIFE !

I hear alot of people saying 2.2 is the biggest tire for the LX. I've put a 2.25 on mine and had alot of clearance left. The cranks on the LX are extremely difficult to get off. I just took it to my LBS I bought my replacement cranks for UDC sin the description it says that they are the ones for a Torker LX -- unicycle2280 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unicycle2280's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11232 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51075 |

Oh...you have the 24"...yes the tire size would be the same but the cranks would be different length. Sorry i thought you had the 20" And ice_cold. It would be chaeper for him to buy his own crank puller that he would have forever and whenever he needed it.

'this' (http://tinyurl.com/28ldn) is what you need. it will pull any crank. (although i'm curious as to whether it will work on splined cranks) -- ice_cold_uni6 *-_chug_counterfeit_tobasco_sauce_while_holding_b ananas_for_christ_-* PM if you want in. harper wrote: read through MR? i'd rather drink bleach. it's more refreshing.

Cotterless cranks all all the same size at the hub. In other words, interchangeable. 125 is a good length for cruising on a 24", but a little short for offroad. You said you didn't want an offroad tire though. 150 is probably too long for most non-dirt activities. How about 140? I used to have a 24" with those, for basketball and the Obstacle Course. My other 24" had 125s for racing. Measure your old cranks center of hole to center of hole to see what size they were. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "The worst thing you can do on a unicycle when you land is stop dead." -- Kris Holm, world's expert on high-consequence unicycling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51075 |
