from Cherry Hill, NJ Date Reviewed: October 18, 2006 Strengths: Shifting has been fine with 4 yrs. use. Am now changing rings for 3rd set. They wear out just like anything else, especially when you don't keep a fresh chain on the bike like I didn't. The crank arms are stiff and have taken some really hard shots on rocks, tree roots, etc. with no adverse effects. Removing them is easy, but don't forget to take the washer out before using the crank removing tool. They are aluminum and will strip out if you forget to remove the washer inside first. Weaknesses: My only complaint is that the crank arms are only compatible with Race Face rings. I tried to install XT rings and they don't fit the crank arms. Uniformity would be nice.

from Sanford, Florida, USA Date Reviewed: June 18, 2006 Strengths: Customer service from factory, these guys are really on the ball. I cannot believe the comments below. If you have a problem contact these guys, and they will do anything possible to help you out. Weaknesses: Not one single thing. I had to contact the factory because I screwed the crank arm up on install. I offered to pay to have it remachined and they hooked it up for FREE! You will never get this kind of personal service from Shimano.
