Pros
All I can say is that it is smooth, and solid. The crankarms are big and beefy. And the I-Lock system sounds good to.
Cons
You really have to play with the shifting up front. The beefyness can some unwanted weight that is noticable.
Review
This set is great. I would recommend it for not only freeriders, but also extreme XC riders and clydesdales.
