    hey everyone,
    i have a savage 24 inch uni and have a problem.
    the left crank is bent like no other.

    Can i just order a normal cotterless crank on UDC?

    Also, which ones would u suggest?

    (looking for 125's or lower)
    im using the uni for racing slash cruising

    If you mean to race in a competition, the minimum crank size is usually
    125mm. For just-fun racing I'd go shorter. The Qu-Ax cranks at
    Unicycle.com are really nice, and inexpensive! If you plan to change
    them a lot, go for steel ones though. Delicate threads on alloy cranks
    can get chewed up if you change them a lot.

    thanx, but its just casual racing.
    how short should i go because the races are like up and down a
    basketball court and the turn is crucial

    For something small like a basketball court you might want to stick with
    the 125s or maybe a little shorter, like 114 or 110. I use 102s when I
    race my 29" wheel (in unlimited races where it's legal). But I've done
    my fastest Obstacle Course times (lots of turns around cones) with 140s
    on a 24".

    140s on the obstacle course????? does that help?!

    This is something new, maybe I should use 140s on the obstacle
    course...
