from austin Date Reviewed: June 10, 2007 Strengths: light. strong. good looks. tradiional mainentance. Weaknesses: i broke the non-drive side crank 3 years ago... I've been riding it ever since, and never noticed the difference. There are lot of little parts you have to take apart to de-grease and regrease after ever ride. Invest in a 5mm ratchet and a chainring bolt holder (the 2007 shimanos use a torx, while everone else still uses that wierd split screwdriver with a boston in the middle.) Anyways, invest int the right tools and everything will be a cinch. I would rather rider FSA, Crank Bros, Next than shimano -- however, Shimano makes the best XTR crankset on the market now... hands down. I want the little guy to get a cult following and win against the japanse tidal wave... but so far they've all left me wondering why their products even compete against shimano. Maybe in the downhill market the crank bros will win... and maybe in the XC race dept the Race Face will win... But these guys (especially raceface and crank bros) need to make an exernal bearing set the exeeds all XTR metrics and is simpler to adjust and cheaper to replace parts on. Japan -- I hope you get your ass kicked here. I've wanted American or Swedich cranks ever since redline flicht cranks dissappeared. - f9a Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: lone star Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: swap for my XTR kit Similar Products Used: everything Bike Setup: Maverick Durance... custom high end build

from Rockton, IL Date Reviewed: December 24, 2005 Strengths: Really Really light, even comparred to todays standards. Seem very strong. Make a great singlespeed crank using the middle ring or the bottom ring. Removable chainring tabs. Good ole trusty square taper! Cool carbon look. Weaknesses: A bit flexy, but I have it paired with a Synacros titanium bottom bracket, so its probably more the bb. The stovk inner chainring is steel and is heavy, replace it.

from Vail, CO Date Reviewed: August 2, 2005 Strengths: From all the great things I have heard I have not put these on my bike yet, but there is a reason. Buyers beware. Weaknesses: I don't know if these are a knock off or these are what was manufactured from race face like this. If so It was a perfect job. The "Cabon Fiber Core" are stickers. The stickers are carbon, but they are only a couple of mm thick. Not incompassing the whole core of the crank. When I told bike mechanic freind that I got these cranks that I have wanted for ever he told me that all the next lp's he has worked on have all been stickers of carbon fiber were there should be a whole core. I was shocked, knowing the quality of my previous race face components in the past have always been very good. To my dismay, I went home and examined the pedals mo closely. Sure enough, the carbon on this pedals were indeed stickers! Bummer. anyhow hopefuly these are not what race face put out and these are fakes. but buyer beware and these people did a hell of a job making these look perfect.
