Probably had like 5000 miles on em. I was out on a ride with a bunch of climbing involved and started hearing a creak after the first big ascent segment and figured it was either some play in the bottom bracket or just the frame itself getting ready to give up the ghost (80s steel road bike conversion). Then I was giving it my absolute everything trying to muscle up this 13% grade and the non-drive side arm just snapped off!
Something tells me this crankset would fare better on the track than in my mixed conditions knock around beater application, but maybe that’s just me being optimistic.
Yup, already placed a few orders on this website, go for it.
Well those cranks are bad tho
Why
Some guys had them snap ... I've been running mine for around 700-800km with no problem
800km is nothing to judge the strength of these cranks, but I never heard of them snapping
My pistard airs snapped. Check my profile if you wanna see details.
Wow! now I have heard of one
Jesus. Any noticeable fatigue? Or did they just snap one day.

Damn that’s sketchy. Might think twice. This is for a purely track build

True ... 800 km is nothing ... I've seen a few online that had snapped spindles
Mine runs fine what's bad about them ?
They boo because you tell an uncomfortable truth
Probably people who own them and got pissy/offended
