Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by maddslacker   on May 19, 2009   Pros solid feel look great reasonable price Overall seem well built Cons VERY hard to get the cahin out after chainsuck, not much space between the bottom bracket and small chain ring Verdict I bought these for my Giant Trance frame build up. They look good, they don't flex under my 200 lbs and hockey player leg strength and generally I just don't think about them when I ride...which is always a good thing. Mine came with the bottom bracket, which installed very nicely on my frame and the whole set seems to work well together. reviewed by element22   on October 21, 2008   Pros Clean construction, nice rings for the money Cons A bit on the heavy side. Middle ring chips easily Verdict A decent crank for most people worth the money. reviewed by timd   on October 4, 2007   Pros Burly crank that really transfers power to the rear wheel when you mash those pedals. This crank is a real powerhouse. The forging is pretty coll too. Cons None Verdict I recommend this crank to anyone who wants an affordable high quality powerhouse.
