Advantages: Super-light one-piece design, Super stiff, Super light + Look v pretty to

Disadvantages: none

I bought this crankset recently for my new bike. If ever there is a prize given for the best crank ever, i believe that this is the one that should get it.

The complete crankset and rings itself is unbelievebly lightweight (just 647grams), 50 grams lighter than an XTR Crankset!

Ontop of this the beefy hollowtech design makes it super stiff, with no noticable flexing. I've heard many reports that this crank creaks all the time, but this simply isn't the case. - one person said that he kept them super clean, and still they creaked, the thin is you are mean't to load cranks up with as much grease as you can to stop creaking, obviously, cleaning will have the opposite effect!
