Truvativ Stylo Cranks : Long Term
July 23rd, 2008 by ArleighBack in May I gave my 1st impressions of these single speed cranks on my 650b hot rod.
The cranks are still doing well and have my thumbs up. They are very durable with the finish standing strong against my ankle rub and the arms are pretty stiff.
The bottom bracket has my thumbs down but as I went through in my 1st impressions - I am very wary of outboard bearing cranks for the durability factor. So far I have gone through 1.5 sets of bearings. After the current set wears out I will be upgrading to Paul or maybe ceramic to see if the upgrade does fix the short life span. The other thing I want to mention of these bearings is the have been submerged multiple times in creeks and deep water. This isn’t normal and your set might last longer than mine.
For the price I wouldn’t balk at purchasing these cranks again. The bottom bracket failure I hope will be fixed with a better type of bearings or maybe I should run BMX 3 piece cranks on my foul weather bike?
