Pros: It pedals

Cons: Not the lightest, and some of my friends have really jacked theirs up just trying to remove them.

Recommendation: This is a solid crank for an entry-level rider, but is not very light or even all that durable. But if you're on a budget, the price is right!

Pros: Light weight, and strong rings

Cons: The pedal bolt holes will strip out very easily, if a clydesdale lands hard on them.

Recommendation: This crankset is good for the first time buyer - recreational rider. Noobies puts it better.
