from United Kingdom Date Reviewed: October 8, 2006 Strengths: Stiff cranks, tough chain rings, no chain suck, rings last a long time with good shifting. Paid about 100 UK pounds Weaknesses: Bottom bracket bearings, alloy cups. The cups are very easy to damage with the tool at the high torques required for fitting. The bearings last about 500-600 miles before they start creaking and developing play. After 1000+ miles they are finished.

from Westers Massachusetts Date Reviewed: June 28, 2006 Strengths: Stiff, external bottom bracket, extreemly well made chain rings, they shift great, look cool... Weaknesses: finish scratches of kind of easy... pretty common with cranks. This is not so much a product weakness as it is a need for revision of the instructions.. the instructions say use grease on the threads of the crank adjustment bolt, when infact they reccomend loctite. If grease is used the bolt will losen.

from Oviedo Date Reviewed: January 22, 2006 Strengths: Stiff isn't a strong enough word to describe these cranks. No flex whatsoever, and that is from a 200lb rider. You can feel the quality of the bearings and cups in your hands, and so much more on the bike. Spins freely unlike the Bontrager garbage that cane with the bike. I wish Trek would have opted to put these on as original equipment. No more traditional bottom bracket and cranks for me. Weaknesses: Too soon to say. Aluminum inner chain ring might be a concern. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: DuPont Epic Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: eBay-bikemech13 Similar Products Used: Bontrager, Shimano XT Bike Setup: Fuel 98, RS Sid, XT/XTR, Easton CF handlebars (what can I say, I love crbon fiber).
