Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:
Urban Downfall Cycle
Strengths:
They look cool, other than that, none.
Weaknesses:
The external BB sucks. The threads were too big and stripped out the first time I installed it on my bike. The bearings don't feel smooth at all. When pedaling and you you crank it hard I could feel the crank arms flexing and they also make an annoying creaking sound.
Don't ever buy these. Ever. For what they are, they're horribly overpriced and don't work. They don't fit right in the bike, they're flexy, and they're noisy. If you're going to buy cranks with an integrated bottom bracket, go Shimano all the way.

Bottom Line:
This crank set is neat looking and light. Yet the BB was very cheap looking and feeling. It didnt fit the spindle well at all and was very tight. 1 week later, bearing went bye bye in drive side cup at a very crucial time. Go sram or shimano...
