Favorite Ride: BMB, or any other long distance ride
Bike Setup: very high end. Dura ace, XTR, FSA, Brooks TI Swift... You name it I have used it!
Summary: This is easily one of the most dependable cranksets for the money... I acquired these when a friend had me build her a bike. I bought these as part of a group, but she wanted a triple. (which she also paid for) I didn't exactly charge her for building the bike, since she was a friend, so she gave me the crankset in lieu of payment! Anyway, they are very solid, and so is the ultegra bottom bracket. the only thing that I would change, is the chain rings. The rings aren't exactly bad, but for some reason, the shifting felt more crisp? not exactly the word, but close enough...
Strengths: durable.. these will last longer than your bike
Weaknesses: matter of opinion regarding weight or chain rings.. Whatever.. these cranks are awesome..

Bike Setup: Cervelo Soloist Team
Selle Italia Gel Flow
Summary: After two weeks and three trips back to my LBS. We, me and the shop owner, could't work out the "Tick, Tick, Tick" that was coming for the FSA cranks that came on my Cervelo Soloist. We took the BB out and replaced it, the noise stopped, I rode over some rough road, it came back. We swapped wheels, forks, seat, everything, the noise was in the cranks everything was torqued up to recommended and there was the "Tick Tick Tick". He swapped out the cranks from the FSA to the Ultegra and bang, noise gone. Ride improved ten fold. The FSA Cranks that come stock on the Cervelo are junk compared to the Shimano Ultegra Cranks.
