Date Reviewed: September 10, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | Cannondale rep | | Strengths: | Very light, very strong, super stiff. | | Weaknesses: | $$$$$, don't make them anymore | | Similar Products Used: | XTR, Dura-ace, Bullseye, Profile Cromoly | | Bike Setup: | Road: Cannondale R5000 campy record
Mountain: Cannondale full XTR
DH: Cheeta Full XTR, hope, | | Bottom Line: | The best road/cross country cranks money can buy. The new Record carbon cranks are a close second, but have not ridden those yet (they are $1,300 w/o bb)but by far the best XC cranks on the market, buy them if you can find a set. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 23, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Anywhere | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | looks awesome !!!
stiff, stiff and, by the way, it's very stiff too !!!
this crankset is a masterpiece of workmanship !!! | | Weaknesses: | None, besides the Coda rings...
Oh, perhaps the price... | | Similar Products Used: | Once you ride these, you don't wanna try others !!! | | Bike Setup: | '95 Cannondale Team Bike, Fatty 50, ESP 9.0, Magura 10th anniversary brakes, Syncros Titanium Seatpost, DT Hügi wheelset,... | | Bottom Line: | I 've ridden my bike for over 5 years now, and this crankset still is PERFECT !!! When you look at it you can't do anything else than admire this peace of work: CNC machined, a perfect finish, very light and stiff like, uhm, I don't know what could be as stiff as this crankset...
I give it 5 flamin' chilis !!!
I can't really do the value rating because this crankset was already on my little jewel when I bought it. But I know these were REALLY expensive (the complete bike costed "only" two times the price of the crankset with BB...). Anyway, I give it 4 chilis 'cause this crankset is worth the money... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

For all 13 months these Crankset have been awesome in every way.They are super stiff and very light.Also,they have been free of any maintenance problems ( except for a new set of bearings after 12 months-we ride in rain and mud here for 8 months of the year here ).Not to mention the fact that they look great. Anyone else had experience with these? And why don't more people/publications talk about them? | | Overall Rating: |
