at supergo (they suck) Favorite Ride: rolling and twisty in spring. Bike Setup: cavalera w/ look lds fork, campy derailleurs, brakes, shifters, post and pedals, shimano b/bracket a Summary: can i just say firstly that the finish is top notch. weighed mine on a digital scale that any colombian would trust and they came in at 614 grams (172.5mm). with bolts it comes in under the manufacturers claims of 635 grams. still lighter than any campy or shimano offering unless you want the new campy carbon.
my LBS (no longer) botched the left crank arm when installing them to an ultegra b/bracket. my subsequent call to FSA had them send a new crank arm to me free of charge. try that with shimano or campy.
having ridden the same frame with ultegra and dura-ace cranks i can comfortably say that they are stiffer (i am heavy/strong) but not totally free of flex. what is?
these will definately be transferred on my next frame such is my satisfaction and their appeal. i will look to buy other FSA products as the need arises. Strengths: probably the best strength/weight/price ratio. i can buy 4 of these and a bottom bracket and still get change from the cost of a campy carbon crank. Nuff said.
the best customer service and support. Weaknesses: FSA dont make a italian thread bottom bracket of their own - YET! Similar Products Used: dura-ace, ultegra, chorus, c-record, campy pista, sugino 75 and even shimano sante.
