from Albuquerque, NM Date Reviewed: December 8, 2007 Strengths: When it was working it seemed to work well - clean shifts, stiff BB. Plenty of times I hit rocks thinking I would have lost a tooth but it was over all bulletproof... Weaknesses: The crank arm fell off on the non-drive side after only about eight rides. As it was my first season on a MTB I couldn't have been riding it very hard. It had been an unusually wet Spring in New Mexico so I did do several dozen stream crossings but that shouldn't have caused a problem like this, right? It cleaned up and re-attached OK for about another couple dozen rides then became loose again and would no longer last for more than a few miles before needing to be tightened until eventually I didn't trust it at all. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Sportz Outdoor Bike Setup: 07 Fisher Paragon - crankset came on it OE

from Orange County Date Reviewed: June 25, 2007 Strengths: It worked fine until it fell apart with less than 100 miles of riding. Makes a Great Paper weight though. Weaknesses: I bought it brand new. Came stock with the bike. It fell apart. Only took it out to ride for about the 4th time ever. The crank arm on the non-sprocket side fell off. It was never even ridden that hard. Never abused. The damn thing just fell off. Tried reattaching it back on the trail. A few miles later, the The crank arm on the non-sprocket side fell off again. This time all the threads were ripped off with it. I could no longer reattach the arm because what was left of the threads wouldn't hold. It was so bad that I could tug the arm off with my bare hands. The crank was completely ruined on my 4th ride on the bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Shimano XT.
