^ what they said. Plus, read this: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbtaper.html

If you don't care about potentially ruining the crank in the long run (probably a dozen or so removals/installations), then go for it. They are cheap cranks anyways so you shouldn't care that much.

A problem will arise if the spindle length is not long enough and inserts completely into the crank. Looking at the spindle in the picture, I'd say that this very well could happen with this combo, as the spindle appears to be as short as it can possibly be (the taper goes all the way to the bb cup).
