Price


Works great for a realitvly cheap price point.


Great set of cranks especially for the price!


With the price of bike parts being what they are this is a good value.


I didn’t want to pay more for the replacement crank than i did for the old bike.

Shipping


It was delivered very quickly and was easy to install.


It took 6 weeks for the crankset to arrive.


Was supposed to be shipped to the store, but was shipped to the house.


Got it a couple of days a go, installed it yesterday but can't wait to go for a ride.

Packaging/appearance


”so i looked in the box, it was inside a flap that secured the gears from sliding around.

Competitiveness


I added it to a cheap bike as an upgrade to a bike that already had shimano tourney running gear that i ride as a hybrid/commuter bike.


I also went with a 170 instead of 175 crank arm which i like a lot better.
