Well that guy said the cranks are for torque and strength witch is exactly what i needed now i got it since i put longer cranks on my bike but it is very crappy that my bike tires are about half the size of a 20' they rotate much quicker witch means i top out faster but im thinking of making the back wheel/tire a 20' and the front a smaller like a hotrod u guys think it'll give me more top speed?
oh sorry about the spelling im so used to typing in IM's ^^ better?
