Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$275.00
Strengths:
This product's strength is exactly that. It's strong and tank like. I use this crankset on my single speed after I bent the crank arm on some lower quality Truvative cranks. I ride in the clydesdale category, and found a crank which I truly believe won't fail me.
Weaknesses:
Cost.
Chainring & bashguard sold separately, also for too much money.
Although other manufacturers chainrings and bashguards can work, the crank is set up where only the Shimano M810 bash guard and chainrings get a proper fit.
Similar Products Used:
Shimano Deore, LX, Hone, SLX, and XT cranks. Truvative. FSA
Bike Setup:
2000 Kona "Kaboom" 7005 frame.
Saint Crankset 34t
Spot/Mavic single speed specific wheelset, 16t White Ind freewheel.
XTR V-brakes and levers.
Bottom Line:
There are better bargains out there for a single speed crankset. But if you have the spare cash and want a rock solid crankset the Saint is a great option.
