I really needed to write a review on this crankset as i think it is great value for what you get. First things first, i have had this crankset for just over a year now and it is still going strong...yes just over a year for £50. There is no choice in colour which is slightly disappointing but all black looks fine on any bike. The weight is fairly light but there is lighter ones out there. The whole item weighs 785g, i didn't think this was too bad as the crankarms themselves are very big. Please note that this crankset is meant for a 4 bolt 22 tooth chainring. I know that most riders nowadays ride with smaller front chainrings, but i ride 22tooth and i know that a few pro riders such as ryan leech still use 22tooth. Infact ryan leech uses this exact same crankset. The bashgaurd on this crankset is extremely tough and you can unbolt it and move it around in a circle and bolt it back on in a total of 4 different positions allowing you to get full use out of it. So far i have only moved it around 1/2 a turn so i still have half the bashgaurd to go before it needs replacing. The bashgaurd itself has jagged tooth like edges which help grip onto walls etc. The crankset has an ISIS fitting which is better than square taper fittings as it is harder to round off unlike square taper which can easily wear and develop play. The cranks are very easy to put on, you just slide them on and tap them gently until they are right up against the bb shell and then you screw in the crankbolt. simple! The crank arms are 170mm long, please be warned that these crankarms may make contact with your magura slave cylinders as they slightly rubbed mine. I am running an adamant A2 frame with an onza reggie rear rim. On my previous frame (saracen team urban) the crank arms didn't touch the cylinders at all, so i think it is just a question of which frame you are running.

Overall i am going to give this product a 9/10 purely because of how long it has lasted for the small price tag of £50. You really cannot go wrong with this product, if you are in need of a crankset but are on a tight budget then this is the one to go for.

Hope this has been of use to people

Nice one dude, how ever. Cranks rubbing on the Magura slaves is due toa few things

1 Having the right bb, shell width and axle. In your case a wide axle is needed

2 The wider the rim the more the slaves will push out. Loops back round to point 1

3. it's also come about due to incorrectly setup brakes. not that often but often enough i've seen it to say noo thats not right like this.

Anyway just though i'd add that
