Strengths: Weight, quality, shifting, etc.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I installed this crankset and bottom bracket in my bike. I've had zero problems with it since Day 1 and have ridden it about 4000 miles. I change out my Dura Ace chain before it reaches max. slack (1/16" I believe). I also change out my Dura Ace cables routinely. I say this because I suspect some of the other reviewers may be blaming the crankset for related problems. I also wonder if they know how to do the mechanicals properly (or follow the instructions). They could be running the wrong chain, have a bent derailleur, the list goes on and on.

Strengths: Great shifting, Sexy looking.Weaknesses: A little heavy.Bottom Line: This was an Upgrade to my Giant TCR-C2.
I have had no shifting problems. In fact I can hardley emagine anything shifting better! No parts getting loose ever. May be my LBS is better on the insatll than most. I do plan to get a K-FORCE LIGHT CRANKSET mainly for the weight and ceramic bottom bracket.
Favorite Ride: All of them!

Strengths: Look great, stiff, nice bottom bracket, simple to install (follow the directions regarding the loctite).Weaknesses: none that I have noticedBottom Line: I have about 1000 miles on these cranks and they are still tight and work awesome. The 50x34 with my 12x27 gearing works great even for the hilly Puget Sound region.

Strengths: Good shifting, good gearing, 50 36Weaknesses: Probably not the best design, shimano's makes more sense.Bottom Line: Installed a few weeks ago, have used on trainer and on several rides. I purchased a new steel crank arm bolt and ground the lip off of the outer nut that sits in the crank arm so it would lock against the crank arm bolt when tightened. No issues with coming loose yet.
Favorite Ride: semi hilly
Price Paid:
