Strengths: cheap, durable, trouble free, had it 3 years on 2 different bikes without any problemsWeaknesses: nothing reallyBottom Line: Got this crankset and BB with my first HT bike almost 4 years ago.
Since then I rode it 6000km of hard ascents and descents. I've jumped on it, ridden it hard. Hadn't made a creak. Changed pedals, never cleaned the BB (except one time when I moved it from my HT to my FS bike). BB still rotates like new.
If I was picky, I'd say that after 6000km of off road trips, the middle ring was a little warped (is it a good word ?) since I've hit it several times onto rocks and tree logs. But the biggest ring is in perfect condition :D (don't know how I did it).
It's the cheapest Truvativ crankset. Never really hoped it would last that long after such an abuse.

Strengths: Strong, good sizeWeaknesses: Tapered walls flared after two re-installsBottom Line: Good crank for the money. Quick shifts, and easy to set up. After installing this, however, on my 2nd bike, the tapered walls have begun to flare out already. I have to use loc-tite on the bolts, or the crank works it's way off! However, for durability, these cranks are well worth the money.

Strengths: Solid, No issues to report.Weaknesses: Replaceable chainrings would be nice, but at this pricepoint it will never happen.Bottom Line: I am a clydesdale at 280 lbs. The only reason I had to replace them is because I bent the chainrings in a pretty bad crash. (7 months later and I still don't have a toe-nail on my left big toe!!). If they stood up to me, they will stand up to you.

Strengths: Held up to my 280lb Butt. No Issues have surfaced So Far.Weaknesses: It would be nice if the chainrings were replaceable, but at this price point, who cares.Bottom Line: This crank has held up to 2 years of trail and street riding with my big butt mashing on them. Finally bent them in a crash. If the middle chainring was replaceable I wouldn't even have had to replace them. I call that $40 worth!!

Strengths: Quiet, smooth shifting low-budget triple-ring crankset.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: Does what it's supposed to do with no perceptible weaknesses. Nothing to look at but its a low-budget crankset. Good for entry-level set-ups or as an inexpensive replacement for a damaged crankset.
