from Lynchburg, VA Date Reviewed: April 8, 2010 Strengths: Cool looking. Strong pedal threads. Paint does not wear easily. Weaknesses: The bottom bracket is pure junk. Throw it out the minute you get the crank and pick up a King or Wood. If you're on a budget, grab some Enduro bearings at the very least. The minute you go through some muck, the Race Face bearings will be shot....I would absolutely not recommend the bb to anyone.

from Mt. Penn,PA Date Reviewed: December 18, 2008 Strengths: They seem to work like they were supposed to. Shifted well. No drag or friction was ever felt while spinning the cranks with the chain off. Never any BB issues. Weaknesses: Developed a small click but not too bad. This is my first bike so I don,t know how they should feel in terms of soft and flexy. I just ordered Shimano XT cranks on E-bay not because they need to be replaced but only because I am a bike addict and want a lot of new stuff on my bike. Noticed after some time that some of the bolts to hold the chainrings together came loose twice. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Antietam, French Creek, Salisbury Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Wal-mart bike crank Bike Setup: Kona Dawg Deluxe 06 Fox RP23, Fox Talas 32 fork, Easton Havoc AM wheels, Kenda Nevegal DTC tires, all XT drivetrain (after the XT crank is put on)
