Submitted by the bronze a Cross Country Rider from TX!
Date Reviewed: November 25, 2006
Favorite Trail:Bar H
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $90.00
Purchased At:Jenson
Strengths:Nice design and package
Weaknesses:Poor execution =pinch bolts
Similar Products Used:octalink and square taper
Bike Setup:flux
Bottom Line:Dont buy them. After 10 miles they were creaking so the shop torqued everything down again. The pinch bolts were loose. Another 10 miles and the same thing, this time it was the bearing cups. 3rd time around 1 pinch bolt stripped and had to be drilled out, taking the threads with it. They are going to be returned to jenson. I dont think the pinch bolts are very well thought out and strip very easily. Only 30 miles for me.
