Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$300.00
Purchased At:
LBS
Strengths:
Looks snappy
Weaknesses:
Fell apart after 360 miles
Similar Products Used:
Shimano Dura-Ace, Ultegra, Bontrager
Bike Setup:
Cannondale R3000, 9-speed
Bottom Line:
I let the LBS owner talk me into this, & he claims to have had no other problems with FSA. Non-drive-side crank retainer bolt fell out after a month. I carried -- and used every ten miles or so -- an allen wrench out on subsequent rides until I could get a Shimano crankset ordered & installed. Having a pedal fall off is not something devoutly to be wished for. Check the other reviews for FSA cranksets; why don't they acknowledge and correct the problem?

A great value when compared to overpriced Shimano equivalents. I have yet to see another on the trail. So far so good, I am curious to see how the chain rings hold up after a season of racing.
