Date Reviewed: December 7, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Santa Barbara | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$100.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | Looks good. | | Weaknesses: | The threads wore out on the right crankarm. I ride bumpy terrain and one day - I know the pedals were on tight - the pedal just gave out. I'm 190 lbs and ride about 5 miles per week tops. | | Bike Setup: | These came on a 2000 Klein Mantra Race as stock equipment. | | Bottom Line: | They seem rather flimsy to me given the care I've given the bike. I do Xcountry a couple of times a week. I think there must have been something wrong with the aluminum of the crankset. The teeth are also a bit delicate on one of my rings, wearing out like a cavity. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 6, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | all | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Hard Core design, pretty | | Weaknesses: | Strength, it is not the best selection for us larger guys | | Similar Products Used: | RaceFace, Icon, Shimano XT, and XTR | | Bike Setup: | Trek 8500LT, spins, sweetest ride I ever owned | | Bottom Line: | This crank is great, but has given me some trouble! I have broken 2 of them. I am larger though, these are a sweet crank, and they don't run you up the ass like Shimano, due to their different bottom bracket. i am a little hasty about this one! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 12, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Clear Springs | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Stiff, good shifting, good finish. | | Weaknesses: | A little chunky for the MSRP. | | Similar Products Used: | XT, LX, Altus | | Bike Setup: | Y-22 w/Fox 4 | | Bottom Line: | Good cranks. They're stiff, they have some nice details like the self-extracting gizmos. Went on the bike without a snag. The color is cool too, sort of a "polished aluminum wearing sunglasses" luster. Shifting is spot-on with the included rings.
These are up there in the XT-XTR class, with a little different twist. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
