Hey,

Would just like to know if the Truvativ Husselfelt cranks and howitzer bottom bracket are any good ?? And how much punishment they can take ??

Most people would argue that good quality Square taper cranks and bbs are better than isis. Square just have a bad name because theres lots of cheap crap out there.

got the external bb and cranks. Never once had a problem with them. Never come undone. I dont think in the 2 - 3 years ive had them on the bike ive ever had to take them off :-)

ive always found square taper to be too much trouble than they are worth. If your going to buy some cranks with the intention of a big huck, make sure you get some freeride or preferably downhill cranks.

My brother rode some XC truvativ cranks on his hardtail and snapped the non drive side crank clean in half on a big huck. He was lucky. Read in the injury section on here, some guys crank fell off and he is by no means as lucky. So getting the right one is important

Hussefelt cranks will be fine,good value,run them on my old bike as it came fitted with them.Had no probs apart from them coming loose-fixed by using threadlock to keep them on. If you can afford second hand saints then they will serve you better but if you must go cheap and new the hussefelts will do the job.

Nope they still come loose when set up properly,my mate had his removed by a decent bike shop,bb faced then refitted by bike shop and they still came loose until he threadlocked his. PTFE tape is another good method of keeping them on.

Good choice.  You'll be better off with those.  Of the friends I have that have owned Hussefelt, they have all come loose - dangerous
