from Guildford Surrey UK Date Reviewed: May 19, 2011 Strengths: I have read the reviews of the Truvativ 5D chainrings and the main theme I can concur with is the fact the left hand Ccrank kept working loose from the time I got the bike. On a weeks trailing in les Gets, France it would work loose every 150yards or so. Eventually I got it to stay on. That said I have been through 4 raceface bottom brackets and two truvativ ones until I settled for an SKF bottom bracket...I have had this in the bike for four years and took it out yesterday to clean it up and its as good as the day i installed it. The 5D chain rings are as old as the bike and should have been changed yonks ago. However as they still worked I decided not to touch them, But ever increasing incidents of chain suck meant i had too. I am now going for Race Face Deus see how I fair with them Weaknesses: Left hand crank constantly working loose despite torquing, locktight and superglue Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: love em all Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $1616.00 Purchased At: Congleton Cycles UK
