Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$139.00
Purchased At:
Mike's bike shop
Strengths:
Tough, thick, durable crank arms. Aluminum bash ring that's a sweet gold color and is very strong.
Weaknesses:
none so far, other than the left bolt comes loose every once in a while. I think it's the fault of the bottom bracket, not the crank.
Similar Products Used:
Truvativ Hussefelts
Bike Setup:
Trek Jack 2 with bunch of goodies
Bottom Line:
Best bang for the buck. It comes in at $40 USD cheaper than the hussefelts, and it's a far better crank. I own both of them and would take the big earl over the hussefelt any day.
Definately a good upgrade for any freerider.

Strengths:
crank arms r beefy, bashguard is strong. made out of aluminum.
Weaknesses:
crankarms come loose all the time. tha more i jump the looser it gets and the more i pedal.
Similar Products Used:
shimano 42/32/22 crank it sucked balls
Bike Setup:
06 fisher mullet
Bottom Line:
the crank is very good i wood recomend it to any 1 who is a freerider or a downhiller. the price i paid for it is a little to much. bashguard is strong wont break. arms r beefy. my only complaint is when it comes loose get allon kes and get the metric kind and tighten it up as it goes. and if it comes loose again get lock-tight. overall its a great crank. botrager does it again
