due to my race face cranks an bb constantly breaking , i decided to change the whole lot and got some of the new shimano slx gear. i'm quite impressed with them. decided on these rather than the xt's as i read in one of the mags that they are tougher and aimed more at the all mountain mtb's. they look chunkier and tougher than the last race face ones i, had and the photos of the xts ive seen somewhere. they feel much tighter (don't know if this is because they are brand new) and stiffer. recommended!!

Just had a look at the crankset on crc and they look nice and a decent price too.

mine were the ride xc(i'll double check 2m). totally crap dyl. i think the all mtn and dh crank sets are meant to be good but i im really p.d off with the ones i had. complete waste of money. I think on the money i spent replacing bb, cranks i could have bought two sets of xtr crank set. i still have mine in a box if you want to see them dyl

It s a discrace for such a well known name 2 produce such crap! Ive emailed them to let them know how much ive spent on fixing my crank set since ive had them and how pd off i am. I thought race face was up there with the best! Obviously not when it comes 2 some components!
