$130.00 | | Purchased At: | Price point | | Strengths: | Very Rigid, Price | | Weaknesses: | I think mine has started to creak just a little... | | Similar Products Used: | Stock Hardrock stuff, wore them out.. | | Bike Setup: | Specialized hardrock 2007, Hayes HFX9 XC V8, Race Face Ride Dh Cranks, Marzocchi Exr pro air 2005, Cane Creek S-8 Headset, Cane Creek thudbuster, Sette Stumpy Stem, Sette Duo Bars. | | Bottom Line: | These are some really stiff cranks, made my stock truvativ's feel like suspension. There kinda heavy, but they are cheap(comparatively). They seem to be creaking a little now, not sure if its the arms or the bearing cups, but i'll just have to deal with it i guess... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$103.00 | | Purchased At: | Farkin.net | | Strengths: | Strong beefy arms intended for DH/FR bombing, stiff pedal inserts so the arms won't buckle on hard landings; Super silky smooth bottom bracket set and very strong ISIS crank shaft. | | Weaknesses: | need lighter and burlier bash guard like E13; Also needs a galvanized non fading finish like the 2009 Hozfeller line (it's non-aging). | | Similar Products Used: | Truvative Hozfeller OCT cranks | | Bike Setup: | Giant Glory DH1, Rockshox Boxxer Team, Sun Ringle wheels (Double Wide rims, Abbah-Lawill hubs, DT Swiss Super-Comp spokes), Anchor brakeset, Saint Derailleur shifters | | Bottom Line: | DH/FR bikes looks don't matter (you just don't look at it when riding), it's ride-ability that counts (the feel factor that something is all solid and well built can't be paid for by money... it has to be earned by manufacturers from the rider).
Stay tough, and worry about looks later (the bike might look ugly, but you can make it damn look good).
