Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by nattylocks420   on November 6, 2009   Pros Great stiff crankset. surprisingly light. shifting is not a problem. Cons none Verdict will never use another crank as long as im riding. it is a great crank for the price and you will notice the upgrade immediately reviewed by GoldenGoose   on May 18, 2009   Pros Light. Replaceable cogs. come in a 48 tooth and 44 tooth version. External cups for BB are easy to replace. Middle ring is made of a stronger steel composite for durability. STIFF. Cons Not a thing! Verdict This is a SWEET crankset that is deceptively light and stiff. Couple it with an XT derailleur up front and you will never worry about shifting again.
