Submitted by roy a Cross Country Rider from Madrid
Date Reviewed: December 1, 2005
Favorite Trail:Cañon del Ebro, Burgos
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $240.00
Purchased At:shop
Strengths:El diseño, exclusividad, acabados muy buenos
Weaknesses:Precio, dificil de conseguir.
Similar Products Used:Ninguna como estas. Otras usadas son truvativ, sun tour XR 350 etc
Bike Setup:Sugar
Bottom Line:No son las mas ligeras pero tampoco pesan demasiado. Es una gran obcion para los que no podemos usar bielas con eje integrado( en la sugar pegan las vainas traseras con la tuerca del eje de pedalier. Los platos que he puesto son unos chinook de TA, que son igual de ligeros que unos extralite (son iguales)pero un 30% mas varatos.El mas grande le he puesto de shimano para que suba mejor ya que los otros no cambian demasiado bien.
Caras pero merecen la pena. Mas ligeras son las extralite o las fish bones pero no tienenla resistencia ni durabilidad( ni el look) de estas roox.

Submitted by Carl Leist a Downhiller from Canal Winchester, Oh.
Date Reviewed: September 3, 2002
Favorite Trail:My trails
Duration Product Used:3 months
Purchased At:Cyclist Connection
Strengths:The cranks are alott lighter than they look, yet without giving up any strength. They've given the most solid feel that I've experienced, and they take freeride abuse despite their intended useage.
Weaknesses:inside heel scrapes them a bit, but I've yet to overcome that with any crankset I've had.
Similar Products Used:Shimano XT Octalink, Bontrager Comp, FSA X-drive
Bike Setup:Cove Stiffee Fr custom composed
Bottom Line:These cranks are definitely worth the money and the annodized finish has good longevity. For the racer who's looking to go light without having to fix a broken wimpy part every week, this is it. Don at Monk-a-Moo (u.s. distributor and e-bay dealer) is helpful too.
