Hi folks,
picked this up - think its about a 1998/99, I know its not that collectable but I am going to use it while my rider frame gets a fresh coat of powder.
Whats this crank set up all about? It's a 'TRUVATIV', bikes still got a 16 tooth cog on the rear? Will it run ok for park etc?

Are these mohawk hubs and are they seeled?
thanks for any help,
Sid.. :daumenhoch:
-
Looks like its been used for trails ridin looking at the gearing and bash ring :-\
-
look like mohawks, think maybe the lower end ones might have had a different name ? :-\,, those do not look to be sealed bearing, Rooski is bob on with the crank set Trials bike, Onza , Da Bomb etc
-
Yep Mohawks - they're 'Sealed Mech' - ie loose ball bearings with a rubber shield.

::) thanks guys :4_17_5:
sorry to sound really dim, what does that mean in terms of riding it - low gear set up or is it just a clearance thing?
could I use it for a bit of ramp work, mainly wobbling ;D or is it just not worth setting it up?
-
Oh I really like the look of those cranks fella.
You will however be pedalling like a madman running 25-16 really you want a 9t on the rear or keep the 16 rear and you know what to put up front
they are rather nice though, be a shame to not use them, nice chunky arms, mmmmm
-
::)nice they are mate - do 9teeth cog/hubs all have 14mm axles because the frame will only take 10mm's ???

oh good spot fella, ive never seen a 10mm 9t, whats the bcd on the 25t could you slap a larger 36t or 38t someone on here has a 38t s&m for sale in gold , my lad ran 36 - 11 and that was a nice ride, spens brother now has that set up as my lad went to 25-9
oh well you'd better box those cranks up and send the mto me!!

mmm - may have to take my grinder to the drop outs... ???

Your Dirtbike will be spot on for park use... :daumenhoch:
Odyssey and profile do cassette hubs with 10mm axles that would be able to use a 9t driver, expensive though, just whack a 44t up front and ride it as is... :daumenhoch:
