Strengths: -Stiffness
-7075 aluminum
Never had any problems nor maintenance to do, and it never got loose. I took it off only one time to change the BB, but beside that, It's been there for the last 5 years and still runs like new!
Weaknesses: None yetBottom Line: This crank (180mm arms) came stock with my bike.
I used it for the last 5 years... running around 5000 Km/year (approx 3100 miles/year), from April to November, since there's winter where I live.
During the last 5 years, I changed many parts on my bike... and now, the only stock parts left are the frame/fork, stem, handelbar, headset,... and the crank!
I've changed the chain many times (approx 1/year), the freewheel (14 Teeth) 3 times , the chainring 1 time... and I would say that the crank is still good as new!
Favorite Trail: Montreal traffic jam !
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Purchased At: ABC Cycles & sports
Similar Products Used: Couldn't say... since I never had to change it... so I cannot compare it to another crank
Bike Setup: Specialized Hemi Pro XXL 2005 (racing BMX)

Strengths: Lightweight, Quite stiff, Cheap, Great range of partsWeaknesses: Crank arms loosen up after a race nightBottom Line: After using these cranks for 2 months i can say i'm impressed at the quality of them. The cranks have a great finish to them and there quite light for 3 piece cranks, my only problem with them is that the drive side crank bolt loosens every couple of rides. But but being second hand probably doesn't help.
Overall a great crank which would suit a cheaper build up or less hardcore race bike.
Favorite Trail: Bmx track!
Duration Product Used: 3 months

Strengths: Very stiff, light, and NO hassles! (Sprocket always straight, no spacer/alignment issues, no creeping play between arm and spindle, no special tools required for removal.)Weaknesses: Not as stiff as Saints. Forthcoming DXR cranks should resolve spider and alignment issues, but will be expensive.Bottom Line: At half the price of Saints (look around), they are very close in performance. They look pretty slick, too.
Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Price Paid:
$125.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Profile (Hassles! See above), Saint (Expensive, weak spider, hard to align with BMX BB), Redline (a little heavy).
Bike Setup: Crupi XXL frame. Very light pro race set-up.
