Favorite Trail:
Hill Side Park
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$30.00
Purchased At:
ebay
Strengths:
Strong, forged (not cast), anodized finish holds up well, poly bash guard came with it ($35.00 @ jensenusa.com), cro-mo pedal inserts
Weaknesses:
Kinda heavy
Similar Products Used:
Shimano Deore, Alivio, and Cheap Truvativ
Bike Setup:
DiamondBack Response with Sram 9sp. x.5 drivetrain, Titec Hellbent bar, stem and grips, FSA Alpha crankset, Avid bb5 brakes
Bottom Line:
Great crankset for the money (would have paid twice as much as I did and still thought I got a great deal) I got the complete crankset for less then the cost of the poly. bashgaurd. I am 6'6" tall and weigh 250lbs and these cranks don't flex under my weight (unlike the Truvativ cranks)and found my bike shifts beter and faster. To think some people spend hundreds of dollars for cranks?
