splined?

Splined means that the cranks are attached to the hub using a splined
interface. This means that rather than hooking them on to a square
thingy, they hook them onto a thing with a bunch of slots. This means
more surface area and less pressure, so the result is that you can do
big drops and stuff and your cranks and hub wont get all screwed up. If
you want to get into trials or street, you will need a splined hub and
crankset sooner or later. A normal "cotterless" or square taper which
you probably have now will break after too many drops.

Regular splines are just the companies design in the hub. Like how
profiles have 48 splines, the older KH had 36, the older ones had 10.

But with ISIS, International Splined Interface Standard, that what it
means. The hub and cranks are splined in a pattern that all other ISIS
cranks use.

Before, a lot of uni companies would make their own brand of hub and
cranks, with their own special way to spline them, but now, a lot of
things are switching to ISIS, which will produce cranks just as, if not
stronger than the older models, have a cheaper price on them, and be
compatible with all other ISIS products.

ISIS has no pinch bolt. Splined does.

Um...no. ISIS are splined and only some splined cranks have a pinch
bolt. The KH/onzas are not ISIS, they are splined and they don't have a
pinchbolt. Same with profiles.

if the only difference between splined and cotterless is the fact that
cotterless has squares and splined has... splines then why are splined
hubs and cranks so expensive?

Because they are much, much stronger.

that was kind of established but can they make the splined hubs and
cranks for the same price or is it more expensive to make.

It's stronger, therefore it will last longer, therefore they can charge
more for it.

Splined hubs and cranks are more expensive to make. There is more
machining involved. But as volume goes up the price should come down.

You aren't going to find any $12 or $20 solid steel splined cranks
because that would be pointless. Why build a strong hub and then put a
cheap crank on that will bend?

What cheaper to make, a square or a freaky star shaped thing with up to
48 points and grooves?

Also, most splined cranks are very carefully engineered and use strong
light materials, while your average $10 cotterless crank is made of
cheap steel.

Notice how these 'forged aluminium cotterless cranks'
(http://www.unicycle.com/Shopping/shopexd.asp?id=174) are also selling
for $100.

bear in mind cotterless is actually splined, it's got 4 splines.

And steel is an alloy too. But not in bicycle-speak. In bicycle-speak
steel is steel and alloy is anything made with aluminum.

Let's not confuse things by exposing the inconsistencies of
bicycle-speak.

In bicycle-speak a splined crank is any of the alternatives to the
square taper crank interface and the obsolete cottered crank
interface.

Splines are generally considered to be ridges on a shaft with matching
indentations on the mating part (crank).
