from CO Date Reviewed: November 1, 2011 Strengths: Auto extracting crank bolt Weaknesses: It starts creaking after about 5 rides and then the entire bottom bracket needs to be disassembled and buttered up. I'm not sure if it's the cranks or bottom bracket, or a combo of both, but I'm on my second bottom bracket and it creaks too. Everything is torqued properly. Everything else SRAM I've been impressed with, but I'm leaning towards XT for a new crank/bb.

from France Date Reviewed: September 21, 2009 Strengths: It is cheap... And it does look good. Weaknesses: It didn't even survive a ridiculous 1 meter drop... And no, i'm not riding a hardtail... I got some replacement parts but the whole thing was just beyond repair. The list of things that went kaputt is : - Main aluminium bolt which holds the left crank (The drop) - Groove on the left crank (gradually in the following months) Now the left crank keeps getting loose and has to be retightened every 15 minutes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: XC Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Came on the original Similar Products Used: Stronglight/Shim cranksets Bike Setup: Type FSR VPP with 130mm travel

from Adelaide, SA, Australia Date Reviewed: February 21, 2006 Strengths: they haven't snapped quite yet! although they sound like they are almost there. Weaknesses: developed a severe clicking on their second long XC excursion, would not shut up despit repeated pull-downs and re-tightening. Hit them with loc-tite, just to have them still click and creak away despite being tightened to damnation. The mongrels won't settle down at all. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: chambers gully Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $110.00 Purchased At: OE on Iorn Horse, Warrior Race Similar Products Used: Nothing quite as bad since snapping a pair of Alivio's in half.. Bike Setup: XC hardtail, full XT drivetrain (including crankset soon)
