| These came stock on my Kona Scrap '07 & I haven't changed them until now, where I have to because the left arm has taken so much bashing, it bent. But I expected this to happen earlier with a 2 year old crankset. I'm definately buying these again, because they are the best I have EVER rode on. I recommend these to anyone looking for a hardcore set-up, and not bothered about weight. Not even the heaviest I've had, and cheaper!!! |

| These cranks are so stif.
they pedal shift and look the thing. but are on the heavy side.
If you are not a weightweenie the MotoX will do the trick. installation is easy.
couldn't fault them. |

| I had 170mm arms that were strong enough, but they came loose all the time so i nut locked it all. Then when i wanted to take it apart crankbolt broke up. So i bought same new crankset replaced it all bb as well. V cheap £45 the lot. This time had 175mm arms, mistake, they twist badley after a couple of rides. They are much weaker hollowed out further at back not recomended for a hard tail. |

| These came on my 07 Kona Stuff, seemed good at the begining,
Then after going off 6 ft drop they didnt feel the same, i thought i had bent my pedals because they were the standard Kona ones, so thought could have been weak.
Turns out bent the crank.
I bought another pair cheap, and then a few weeks ago, do an 8 ft drop, and this ones bent as well!!!
So now ditched them and have Saints on order |

| Me and my mate have both HAD them. Crank arm falls off frequently. Threads strip suprisingly quickly. My local bike shop hates them. Don't buy... |

| Id say these cranks are fairly good. They seem strong and stiff for the price which is good. Although yesterday i was riding particually hard and they bent outwards a twisted which i really cant understand? Im having them replaced shortly and hopefully will be out riding soon. |
