from California Date Reviewed: July 17, 2011 Strengths: I got the 26 39t crankset. It was very easy to get adjusted to the 2x10 set up from the 3x9 I was running on my last drivetrain. I actually picked up the whole entire X0 drivetrain, not just the crankset. I'm really enjoying the whole set up. I considered doing a 2x9 to save some money, but ultimately I just went for it. I'm really enjoying the difference. The weight saving wasn't my concern, but at a 30 pound all-mountain lite-freeride rig I didn't mind shedding some weight. What I mostly enjoy about this bike is the ease of understanding what gears you should be in and when you should be in them. Climbing has become much easier for myself and I am getting better at it thanks to the 2x10. With 39t as the biggest chainring, I do "spin out" while coming down huge paved roads at about 37 MPH, but I never go that fast coming down any local mountains. I just do singletrack and rock gardens, so the smaller 26 39t is just what I needed. Beautiful setup, runs smoothly shifts smoothly incredible. I'm running a 12-36t cassette, just to throw that out there Weaknesses: I really want to be as critical as I possibly can, as this is an expensive crank, and getting the full drivetrain is even more money to spend. I fortunately got it for a bit cheaper, but even still this full upgrade costs, on average, over a grand- so I really wanted to provide any information that gives way to any problems. but I can't find any This is truly and incredible crank and I got the full drivetrain, so it is especially kickass. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Manzanita Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $330.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: I've never had a 2x10 before Bike Setup: Norco Range 3 with mostly stock parts; which includes 160mm Rockshox Lyrik U-turn forks, Monarch R rear shock, ODI Rogue's (gotta love ODI), a Specialized Phenom seat (143mm), Kenda Nevagal 2.35s, Avid Elixirs, Straitline pedals, now, with the new drivetrain, I've got the full X0 drivetrain setup. I'm not entirely certain about getting the Avid X0 disc brakes just yet. This new drivetrain really did burn up a good bit of money but I found it to be a bit more of something I would get more use out of. I have the Sram PG 1070 12-36t cassette on this (for those that really get into it)
