Date Reviewed: April 29, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Mont Ste-Anne | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$150.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | Light, strong, reliable until you do "all mountain" | | Weaknesses: | 3 Rings model doesn't have the steel pedal bushing, bad for an "all mountain" crankset! Shame on shimano for that one, this crankset is a rip-off the LX crankset, made for light and smooth riders.
Also, the big 44t Ring is weak and won't handle any kind of abuse. It will break if you try to re-align the teeth (must be magnesium) | | Similar Products Used: | 2 Rings Hone (FC-M601-2)
ISIS cranksets | | Bike Setup: | Fetish Cycles Discipline frame, XT/LX Mech, 120mm Rock Shock | | Bottom Line: | The pedal bushing didn't hold the road, 2 days and all the threads ripped off, and I know how to install a pedal. Get the 2 rings model and get a separate 44t ring if you really need it.
If you do hard stuff, get Saint or another brand. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$140.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Strong, stiff, smooth, slick shifting and stealth look. | | Weaknesses: | None so far. | | Similar Products Used: | The original suntour cranks that came on the bike, which were shot in 8 months. | | Bike Setup: | Norco hardtail,RS Revelations, FC M600 Hone cranks, WTB sx24 Wheelset, WTB Velociraptors, Shimano lx drivetrain. | | Bottom Line: | I use these cranks for trail riding and occaisional xc racing and they have not dissapointed me in any way, they are still as good as new after six months of hard riding where my suntours were on their last legs by now. They just get the job done without you being aware of them, I have come home to clean the bike down after some good hard rides and discovered rock stikes on them which didn't faze them at the time, even the finish is very durable and they look nice and stealthy, complementing all the other black anno finished parts on the bike perfectly. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$ | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Sport Shop | | Strengths: | Cheap... | | Weaknesses: | Crank arm unscrews itself | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Bontarge | | Bike Setup: | Brothers Wahoo | | Bottom Line: | I was riding some jumps and I know this isn't built for thrasihing but It's for a MTB. So I was riding some jumps on my Bro's bike and on a landing not a crash I notice theses no pedal, then I notice theres no crank arm Mabey its my fault for not tightening them but a crank shouldn't pull itself off. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$150.00 | | Purchased At: | local | | Strengths: | Great Crankset. I haven't found any problems yet. Easy install myself with basic bike tool set. | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | Replaced Race face crankset after I broke it. | | Bike Setup: | Giant Reign 3, stock set up | | Bottom Line: | I stripped out the treads for the pedals on one side and had to replace in a hurry on a limited budget. Local shop told me about this product and I stalled that night. I've had no problems with it so far. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
