This a fantastic crankset that never lets you down. In the past RF bb's have been suspect, but with the new Phil Wood grease and seals, the bb is outstanding. 6 months of wet muddy Shore and Whistler riding and the bb still feels like new. Love the graphics too. Made in Canada with US aluminium, a true North American product, AND it's lighter than Saint. What more could you ask for? If you want to go even lighter, but still want a bombproof crank, check out the Atlas AM.
