from New Hampshire Date Reviewed: August 14, 2005 Strengths: The arms seem relatively strong Weaknesses: The alloy used to make these cranks is very very soft. The crank puller threads crossthreaded and stripped almost immediately. Just today the non-drive side pedal threads stripped when my pedal hit a rock. Not cool, Race Face. I've had much more dependable performance out of an ancient pair of lightweight Shimano XT cranks.

from Fort Wayne, IN Date Reviewed: June 7, 2005 Strengths: look nice, look strong, feel good while they work... Weaknesses: Yeah, these were great until the pedal thread stripped out while on a road ride. Oddly enough, I ended up using these cranks almost exclusively on the road, so they saw none of the real abuse they were supposedly designed for. Raceface was completely unsympathetic, saying that they only had a 1-yr warranty. That's what I get for "upgrading" from my old shimano. I wish I'd kept the old shimanos, because I'd put them back on. Why would I want to pay 68$ for a new crankarm when it's a piece-of-crap design, and raceface doesn't want to do anything about it? I emailed the addr on their website about this a couple days ago, and haven't heard anything back at all! I thought raceface was the stuff, but I used to beat the heck out a set of old LXs and they never gave out on me! Raceface has lost a customer in me... Don't buy these, maybe if you're lucky they've fixed the problems with the crappy threads in the new line... too bad I'll never find out!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: 115 Similar Products Used: shimano lx, from before they were hollow Bike Setup: k2 flying monkey dual sus, noleen 5 in up front, magura rim brakes, sum mammoth on the rear, rhino lite up front
