Summary: This crank works perfectly. I have no problems going to the smallest chainring regardless of which sprocket I was on. I had a Truvativ Elita Triple that refused to go to the smallest chainring unless I was on my 5th or 6th largest sprocket. Shifting is now perfect on my Ultegra setup.
Strengths: Perfect Shifting.
Weaknesses: End Cap needs a special tool to install.

Summary: This is a fantastic upgrade from my old Shimano Ultegra FC-6500 that came with my bike, and a screaming deal I found that was a take-off from a new bike. I'm using it with 9-speed shifters and cassette and it works great. Cranks are very stiff, and the external bottom bracket is also a big improvement in stiffness and efficiency over the old splined version. The chainrings also shift smoother and crisper. I like the 39T middle ring. It provides a better overall gear combination in conjunction with the big ring (52T)(I don't use the granny all that much). I am extremely happy with this upgrade.
Strengths: Stiffness, low weight, external BB, great shifting, better gear ratio with 39T middle ring
Weaknesses: None found

Summary: I have bad knees, so I have to make sure I always have a super-serious granny gear. These are great cranks. The external bearing cups design is wonderful.
This is a great crankset, very stiff and I don't worry about the weight.
Strengths: This crankset is really stiff. And it's easy to disassemble/re-assemble for maintainence. It does everything I expected when I bought it. Thiry gears! Did you ever think that was possible when you rode your first '10 speed' around the cul de sac.
Weaknesses: None but had I known about compact cranks, I might've given them a try first.
