What age is the PL24. The early ones generally came with one piece cranks. The good upgrade would be for Single pinch Redlne 401's. I personally will be running modern double pich Flight cranks on mine. 414 Industry cranks are new school. If it's a new school bike then anything goes.

Jamie,
what gearing is on there?
41-18, 36-16 & 30-13 are all the normal ratios to use as they equate more or less to 44-16 on a 20"
414 are an offshoot of Revell bikes I think?
 :) DINGO :)
