Strengths: Superstiff and light,easy to service the best crank ever made,thank you Alex Pong and Magic motocycle
Weaknesses: Cannondale,discontinued,Cannondale
Bottom Line:
The best crank ever made,Heirloom cranks on ever bike I have ever had since 1995 (5),Will keep them until they totally detonate. Cannondale discontinued the best crank ever made. The cranks cost $650.00 in 1995, Thats when a can of coke cost .50 cents. But worth ever penny. Sometimes they are on ebay. BUY THEM!
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.

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...
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...
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:
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?
paid for goodness.

I just discovered this light in a store here in Denmark.
It has no brand and is probably a Chinese import.
