Strengths: Worked great for about six years.Weaknesses: Failed catastrophically, right in the middle of the arm. I broke two ribs. The thin section in the middle makes it light and, in theory at least, can still be strong.Bottom Line: Like any aluminum crank, these need to be inspected periodically. If you ride hard, you want to make sure your equipment is in good shape. Mine had a crack develop that I apparently missed, but you can see from the break surface that it didn't break all at once, but it was invisible enough that I got caught unawares. Ouch.

Strengths: cost, weightWeaknesses: durabilityBottom Line: They say you can only pick two out of three: lightweight, low cost, durable. With these you are choosing lightweight and low cost. Mine lasted around three years and then the splines that lock into the octalink BB gave way. Leaving both my crank arms pointing straight down. It was a good three years don't get me wrong. It just seems like a crank should last a lifetime.

Strengths: compact gearing is great. I live in hilly areaWeaknesses: these tend to loosen when torques per the manufacturers spec. need to tighten frequently and use extra torqueBottom Line: love the compact gearing. These have been good, except they tend to loosen- need more torque than the spec says. Were not too many Compacts available when I got these 3 years ago
Similar Products Used: 1st Compact ever
Bike Setup: fuji roubaix pro with ultegra

Strengths: None, since it broke.Weaknesses: It broke.Bottom Line: I broke the drive side crank going up a slight rise. Thank God I wasn't going fast. I only suffered a gash on my knee. Should have had a weight limit on these cranks, since I'm 200 plus.

Strengths: Lighter than most other products out, even products twice as expensive, and more durableWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: Great product, at 225 lbs, and major clims all around it has been a very reliable product. Having gone through two sets of FSA carbon cranks (Failures), these are lighter and more durable.
