Strengths: Looks nice with black arms, large chain ring and silver middle and small rings. Does not feel very heavy for a $40 crankset. Chainrings are bolted together providing the ability to perform maintenance and or rebuild.Weaknesses: None foundBottom Line: Value prices crankset with the ability to be rebuilt and they really don't feel heavy. I purchased the square taper version 42/32/22 in black. They have shimano quality in a low price point. The crankset has a durable finish. I selected these for my wife's custom build trying to keep it budget friendly and they worked out well. Easy install and smooth shifting. Look at them, they are kinda sexy.

Strengths: Cheap; works with 9-speed; a 44 tooth large ring and a 22 tooth small one unlike some OEM cheap stuffWeaknesses: A little heavy compared to more expensive stuff; middle chain ring can bendBottom Line: No issues at all until I discovered a mysteriously bent middle chain ring. I was able to do a reasonable job of straightening it though. The FC-M590 shifts much better because it has little pins that help throw the chain over onto the next ring when shifting. There's a big difference in shifting between the two, so I'd recommend just getting a better crank with the pins on the rings. But this crank is not bad if this is all you can or want to afford.
