Strengths: absolutly noneWeaknesses: the crank arms fall off if your a strong pedaler, of which I don't consider myself oneBottom Line: these cranksets are weak and should be avioded. 2 times now my left crank arm has come off mid ride and left me high and dry. Maybe the 1st time, the bolt was to tight (bought from bikes direct) and it brook as I was climbing, so be it, but the 2nd time, I have to write this review to warn anyone who's doing their homework. The 2nd time it broke had nothing todo w/ torque on tightening, but it just came loose and fell off causing a false step and almost falling. I do not trust the product anymore and feel I should not have to check it before each time I decide to ride. It was no more that 300 to 400 miles b/w the first failure and 2nd. I'm swithing to Shimano, and will know i have a quality product.

Strengths: Stiff, light.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: So far, very impressed. I have to say that you can feel the weight changes from the Gossamer my Felt had when I bought it. Very stiff. I do sprint intervals and I have not seeing the problems other reviewers pointed out. I bought the 175 over the Gossamer's 172.5". Of course, compact cranks.
Favorite Ride: anywhere in Puerto Rico with my friends...

Strengths: Strong / stiff and light. Good looks.Weaknesses: Not as light as K-Force or SRAM Red. On the expansive side.Bottom Line: SLK-light megaexo compact crank mated to SRAM Rival drivetrain works very nicely. Smooth but stiff and very responsive. Very rapid shifting 34/50 and reliable.

Strengths: Good looks.
Light.Weaknesses: If you srint hard or are above 190 it will "squeak" at first...then let go.Bottom Line: If you make power or are a big rider get rid of this cranset. It will fail. Soon. Especially if you do a lot of sprint interval. I am not biased against FSA Stuff. I love their components mostly. I am just trying to save someone the frustrations I had.
Favorite Ride: System Six
Similar Products Used: Same crank one and broke it thouight it was a fluke. Look at most pro sprinters. They run aluminum cranks for good reason.
