Strengths: Excellent power transfer, precise shifting, lightweight, A looker, Great bottom bracketsWeaknesses: I guess the alloy plating on the fairing of the big chainring. Which is starting to build up salt.Bottom Line: Great product, I have nothing but good words for FSA cranks. stiff, light, aesthetics, durability, great bearings, reliable shifting. I never turned back since I started with my first set which is the Gossamer, then the Carbon Pro team Issue, I have a k-Force light as well and a K-Force on my mtb.

Strengths: noneWeaknesses: weak on the left side crank mount wears out to quickly and becomes loose after time. Tend to flex and creak quite a bit..
Even had problem with alignment of the chain rings which was due to bad production.Bottom Line: I have gone thru to sets of these in the past 2 years they are garbage period. The left side crank even after their recommendation how 2, came lose and failed twice. They need to go back and re engineer these things if they want to keep customers in the near future. Would not recommend to anyone.

Strengths: Very good looking
Light
Smooth BB
Fairly stiff crank arms
Really stiff chain ringsWeaknesses: Unclear instructions for tightening. I tightened to Nm specs originally but that wasn't enough.Bottom Line: Bought this crankset to replace a Bontrager XXX Lite. 175mm length/2009 model. I've got about 2000k on the set so far and have not experienced any of the problems with pedal loosening. The BB has worked very well. The install instructions were explicit on how much to tighten the crank arm. Initially this left the wavy washer not compressed enough which led to creaking over some time. I went back and tighten the hell out of the crank arm. The wavy washer is not full compressed (flat) which it shouldn't be but the creaking went away and the crankset works flawlessly now. It is a substantial weight savings over previous crank/bb set up and I've been very happy with it aside from the initial lack of tightening.

Strengths: Light
Looks
Weaknesses: Pedals comes loose
Bottom Line: Left pedal start to feel loose after 4 years of use. Noticed that the 'thread insert' was loose in the crank arm. It is probably due to a poor gluing between the carbon arm and the metal insert.

Strengths: Looks goodWeaknesses: Structural weakness
Pedal arm "insert" breaks and comes loose.
Pedals fall off
Pedal arm breaksBottom Line: For the 3rd time since using the SLK-Light Crankset I have had a major failure, of the inner crank arm "pedal insert". After a few thousand miles it comes loose, creaks - and then falls off. The first two times I returned and FSA exchanged it. Now I cant even get FSA on the phone. This product has been a problem from day one. Stay away from this piece of junk!!! And FSA - I'm never buying another one of your products again. Its just not worth the effort.
