Strengths: they look good, easy to change rings. cheap for what it is.Weaknesses: As with all sram carbon cranks, they scratch and chip very easy.
They also have totally stuffed up on the chainline. (I am running 168Q factor GXP on my Santacruz Tallboy C
the chain ring really needs to be about 5mm further inboard to get a better chainline on the 42 tooth.
As it is it is ligned up with a straight chain in about 7th gear.
At moment it is really extreme and you can see it wearing the front ring.Bottom Line: Works ok.
pity they didn't get chainline correct
pity that the chainrings don't fit normal BCD's.

Strengths: Light, it's a 1x set-up, clean lookingWeaknesses: None yet. A little pricey, but a good crank is expensive.Bottom Line: I have run a 1x set-up on my bikes for the past 3 or 4 years and have always needed a chain guide of some sort. With the unique alternating “wide tooth, narrow tooth” pattern of the XX1 chain ring I have not had a chain drop yet (about 200 miles of ride time) without a guide. Before I dropped the extra money for the XX1 rear derailleur, free-hub body, shifter and cassette I wanted to see if I could just use the XX1 crank with a standard rear cassette and derailleur. Works just fine.
Favorite Trail: Black Canyon Trail
Duration Product Used: 200 miles
Price Paid:
$350.00
Similar Products Used: No similar products available, but used mostly Surley chain rings and xtr cranks.
Bike Setup: 1x9, Sram 990 rear cassette, X-9 rear derailleur, 36t XX1 chain ring and XX1 crank
