LBS
Strengths:
Very light, good aesthetics, plenty stiff.
Weaknesses:
None I've noticed
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Great crankset: cool removable inner chainring spider, smooth BB, and a great price. Just to clear-up some misconceptions - the GLight is a gravity racing crank. It's not a big surprise if you bend the arm during a major crash. Some durability is a logical trade-off for a lighter, more race oriented component.

Strengths:
Strong, lightweight, easy to set up. Stiff. Nice looking.
Weaknesses:
The black paint scratches?

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Great set of cranks. I have been running XT'x and XTR's for years, but have had good luck with Gravity gear. I could not be more please with this set of cranks. the bearing preload was easy to set, and the cranks spin well. I ride flats and mash my pedals, and the cranks are holding up very well. You can even buy replacement bearings and the bearing tool off the FSA website for the Megaexo BB.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Totally shocked that these cranks bent. I crashed on a slightly downhill section of trail, no rocks to be seen and the cranks bent heavily. Not sure what they hit, ripped my leg open but you'd think my leg would break before they'd bend? Think they just hit dirt as the bike tumbled, can't believe that would be enough to wreck them like they are. Maybe I got a lemon? Guess I've got to go heavy next time.
