from seattle.wa Date Reviewed: March 3, 2003 Strengths: Very durable crank arms nice smooth shifting Weaknesses: I usually ride 4X a week and after three weeks of riding with these chain rings, the middle chain ring lost two teeth and the small chainring was so bad with misaligned teeth that chain suck left me stranded on a lot of uphills. I was in such denial and disbelief that this type of problem would and can occur so early on in the purchase. Very dissatisfied with the product and the condescending warranty department. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: None ever Bike Setup: If you are a weekend warrior and ride maybe once a week then this is the product for you. If you are a frequent and serious rider who is accustomed to the rates at which equipment wares down, then you will be dissatisfied and surprised
