from Calgary, Alberta Date Reviewed: January 7, 2012 Strengths: Light. Colour? Weaknesses: Completely unreliable. The teeth on the chainring wore out after about 20 rides. I had these on my race bike which I only used for pre-rides and races. It was installed with a brand new rear derailleur, cassette and chain and should have lasted at least a couple of seasons. Alas, in one of the biggest races of the year, my chain began skipping even under minimal tension and I couldn't even pedal up a curb without a horrific grinding and skipping. Frustrating! Maybe I got a dud, but this is only the latest in bad experiences with SRAM products as of late. Think I'll stick with SHimano. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Canmore Nordic Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: local store Similar Products Used: Raceface, Shimano XT

from Fort Worth, Texas USA Date Reviewed: February 13, 2008 Strengths: Stiffness, Build Quality, Ease of installation, Looks! Weaknesses: I am not crazy about having an aluminum bolt holding the cranks together. But that is more of my mental issue than a fact. The aluminum bolt is probably more than strong enough. This does not affect my rating because it is irrelevant, just noted.
