Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths replacable pins, strong Weaknesses Splined interface Similar Products Used Hussefelt Review This crank has been progressively getting looser at the bottom bracket since I first bought it. it started with some noise, and a year later I can't go riding without my 8mm. Terrible considering I paid 200 US for the bare cranks, while my hussefelt on my freeride bike was cheaper and preformed much better.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Strength, Warranty Weaknesses Weight, Price Similar Products Used Race Face prodigy DH and Turbine LP Review This is quite a good crank for urban trials, especially if you're a larger rider. They are pretty heavy, though and pricey. If you're looking for a really tough aluminum crank, this is a good choice. Lifetime warranty, replacable chainring tabs, a good invesment.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Stiff, strong, durable, reasonable weight, 10 year warranty Weaknesses I feel bad that the black paint is gone... Similar Products Used XT cranks, Hussefelts, FSA power pros, etc. Review I love these cranks, they have survived two frames and now have been replaced by truvativ hussefelt trials cranks (so that they can be put on a third frame, my Jackflash that will be ridden more than my Zebdi) These cranks have taken trials abuse (expert class) skate parks, dirt jumps, grinds and other street nonsense, cant bash them at all. They rule. For those of you experiencing noise or looseness go to a shop and be introduced to a "torque wrench" tighten your BB and then tighten the crank on properly carying an 8mm around wont help much...

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths splined, stiff, moderately light, lifetime warranty Weaknesses expensive, paint chips off easily (makes me not wanna ride) Similar Products Used truvativ, middleburn, bonz Review truly canadian worksmanship. they babies are probably the best non-trials specific cranks out there. they DO hav their fair share of dings and paint chips, which kind of hurts me heart cause i saved up for so long. (this was before the time of bonz being splined, or else i would've bought those) anyhoo, forged and machined to perfection, you needn't worry about unwanted flex or breaking, cause if you ever do, raceface will send you a brand new pair! bonz does that too i think. they're so far survive my old xc rig that broke and now my mk5, i've found no weaknesses other than the paint coming off if i'm not too smooth from time to time. three sizes available and 2 colors -- black looks cooler though.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Strength, weight, looks, length, Weaknesses none i can think of Similar Products Used middleburns, truvative Review these are great trials cranks that have a great warranty to go with that. the only problem could be the colour but if u get the silver ones they dont look damaged for ages. i have used these cranks off big drops and am more worried about my cracked pace frame than the cranks lol. these cranks are worth the money and are strong and light.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths strength, warranty, replaceable bolt holes Weaknesses none Similar Products Used Truvativ, Shimano Review The best cranks if you're running a standard cassette hub. Works for urban, natural or whatever it is that you ride.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Tougher then any other crank I've Used!!!!! Weaknesses Weight Similar Products Used Shimano Review Flat out..........these cranks ROCK!!!! The only downside, if I can find one, is that I wish they weren't as heavy. However, this set of cranks have outlived and outlasted, TWO rigs in XC class. To go through two bikes and still be on the same set of cranks, speaks volume with respect to quality of RACEFACE and their products. Believe me, I've pushed these babies to the extreme, and they have not disappointed once!!!!
