Price Paid:  $123.00 at LBS in Japan

Favorite Ride:
Downhill with a tail wind.

Bike Setup:
Trek 7.3 FX w/ Shimano 105 Series crankset and BB. Shimano pd-M540 pedals.

Summary:
I bought this with the fc5600 (Shimano 105 Series) bottom bracket. This crankset is extremely firm and doesn't creak or bend under heavy pressure. I'm 275# and am therefore very hard on drivetrain parts.

Strengths:
Excelent durability without any noticible flex even under a heavyweight rider. Great value for the money.

Weaknesses:
I agree with the previous review that the finish scratches somewhat easily.

Similar Products Used:
Various square taper BB's and cranksets.

Finish scuffs easily
