from Savannah, GA. Date Reviewed: June 7, 2007 Strengths: I feel like saying "strong and stiff" is pointless, North Shore DH says it all. The real strength here is that they're relatively light weight for DH cranks, especially since you can just get a lighter or heavier duty ISIS bracket depending on your riding style. Weaknesses: wow... I really think the only thing you can say is that 5 bolt stuff is starting to go out of style, but its still available so... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: still looking Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Truvativ Stylo, Hollowtech LX Bike Setup: Z1, Rhino Lite, Urban/Jump setup.

from Newark, Notts, UK Date Reviewed: August 14, 2003 Strengths: The cranks are strong and they do not flex as much as other cranks I have had in the past do. The weight issue with the cranks is not to big a factor as they are of a similar weight to other cranks and slightly lighter than three piece. Weaknesses: Poor customer service from the shop that i bought them from and from silverfish, miss informed uses for cranks and the type of setup I am running. Not as strong as they are advertised in the adverts. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Decoy Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Leisure Lakes Similar Products Used: Raceface turbines (these lasted less than a month), FSA's, Suntour cranks, Truvative. Bike Setup: I am currently running an Identiti Dr Jekyll dirtjump bike with an MRP chain device and a long shimano bottom bracket due to crank flex and the MRP moving towards the frame.
