$200.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Stylo Team CARBON - Price, ridability, looks | | Weaknesses: | carbon fiber finish scuffs easily | | Similar Products Used: | XTR, Race Face Turbine LP | | Bike Setup: | Fork - Rock Shox Judy XC,Rims - Ritchey Girder XC,Hubs - Ritchey Zero,Spokes - Ritchey ultra-lights,Tires - IRC Mythos XC Kevlar,Pedals - Shimano M540,Crank - Truvativ Sylo Team Carbon,Chain - SRAM 951,Rear Cogs - Sram PG-970 11-32,Bottom Bracket - SRAM GXP,Front Derailleur - SRAM X-gen,Rear Derailleur - Sram X-7,Shifters - Sram X-7 twist,Handlebars - RaceFace Deus XC,Stem - Kore Elite,Headset - Ritchey WCS,Brakeset - Avid SD7's,Brakelevers - Avid FR-5 Saddle - Sette AMP,Seat Post -Sette APX alloy,Extras - Sette XE2 Carbon Fiber bar ends, Ritchey grips, XTR cables/casings
| | Bottom Line: | If you're looking for the best XC crank for the $$, you have to buy this crank. I was scared that it would feel soft compared to XTR/RaceFace and that hasn't been the case at all. I weigh 215lbs and this crank is as stiff as anything I've ridden. On top of it all, it is a work of art, absolutely beautiful. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Stiff, Affordable, smooth shifting, smooth bearings. | | Weaknesses: | A bit beefy at 918 grams but the weight may ensure durability and stiffness. | | Similar Products Used: | Race Face Turbine LP, Ritchey Logic (both with square spindle Shimano BB.) | | Bike Setup: | An Extremely Nice Bike | | Bottom Line: | This is the 2008 version of the Stylo 3.3 crankset with GXP bottom bracket. Weighed in at 918 grams including BB. Not too heavy considering the price - $100 complete- along with the solid construction. Only ridden for 6 miles thus far but immediately notice that this crank is MUCH stiffer than my old school square spindle BB and just as smooth spinning with the large outboard bearings. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Excellent value. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

they are solid stiff and silky smooth far supior to the oem junk ive rode it the past, they look pretty sweet as a bonus.. | | Weaknesses: | they arent the lightest cranks but there not really in the price range of the light weight xc cranks.. | | Similar Products Used: | truvative isoflow and five d, neither are even close to the saem class as the stylo | | Bike Setup: | access xcl frame, manitou r7 elite, truvative stylo, the rest is oem junk of my dakar.. | | Bottom Line: | great bang for the buck with no problems so far, good looking stiff and smooth couldnt ask for much more at this price..
igive it four chilis because it would be nice if they were a bit lighter but for this price and the stiffness i shouldnt complain | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$175.00 | | Purchased At: | jensonusa.com | | Strengths: | Look great and very stiff | | Weaknesses: | A little heavy | | Similar Products Used: | Truvativ Isoflow (OEM) | | Bike Setup: | GT Avalanche frame with custom build kit | | Bottom Line: | Haven't used them that long yet, but a world of difference compared to the cranks that came with the frame. These cranks are so stiff it makes it easy to climb. Bearings are nice and smooth and make rolling in low gear a piece of cake. Can't imagine how nice these cranks would feel with some ceramic bearings. For the price these can't be beat! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$150.00 | | Strengths: | Looks good, light. | | Weaknesses: | It's made from plastic! | | Similar Products Used: | Truvativ Hussefelt, Prodigy DH | | Bike Setup: | Yeti AS-X + Z.1 Light ETA | | Bottom Line: | I'm a all-mountain rider and i was searching light and cheap cranks for my bike. If you weight over 210 lbs - don't buy this cranks anyway.
Then i setup them it's all be ok, but after a month of riding they are starting creaking. After 500 km i replace all chainrings, then i broke the main aluminium bolt, and after all that i broke groove on the left crank.
P.S. The self extractor can self extracting =))) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$149.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | Looks good, fairly light. Good value and great alternative to super high dollar cranks (XTR, Stylo Carbon) for a small amount of weight. Replacable chainrings. | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | Stock Specialized cranks (Strongarm?) | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Hardrock (2000) w/Truvativ 3.3 Team cranks, Avid SD5 brakes and levers, XO rear derailleur, XO carbon trigger shifters, XT Cassette, PC-991 chain, Mavic wheels with Deore hubs, Specialized Fast Trak Pro tires. | | Bottom Line: | They look good, they're light, and they're strong. All in all they're leaps and bounds better than my 7 year old Specialized cranks that they replaced (had to have a bike shop jackhammer the rusty bottom bracket out). My old crank was missing three teeth on the middle ring and the rings weren't replacable so I had to upgrade.
I'm not a weight weenie but these things are rather light. They're really not that much heavier than XTR's or Stylo Carbons and as far as I can tell they perform about the same for less than half the price.
I'm pretty happy with them so far but I don't have a lot of miles on them yet. I'm gonna abuse them for a few months and write another review. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
