  1. Right now I'm using a pair of 2003 Black Torker HD cranks on my road
    uni. These cranks are about at the end of their life and I need to find
    some replacements soon. These cranks have a fairly large Q factor and I
    was wondering if that's a good or bad thing for road cycling. I have
    never used any other cranks so I don't have a basis for comparison.

    What cranks do you people use for road riding? If nothing else, I was
    going to order a pair of 2004 Torker LX cranks.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

  3. For me, the closer I can get my feet together for road riding, the
    better. The side to side swinging which naturally occurs on a unicycle
    is diminished when you can narrow that distance, and pedaling becomes
    noticeably more efficient. Which means no Q-factor is better.

    I think the Torker LX cranks would work fine. (I have a pair) Good
    luck!
