Well…
The pinch bolt came undone on mine (done up with allen key) surprisingly, after splashing £40 on a mini torque wrench and allen bits, nipping it up to 15Nm (think that’s right) did the trick and it’s not come lose since (didn’t the STW review mention the bolt coming undone?).
I’ll agree that it’s a dodgy design, and the fitting instructions it came with didn’t mention the torque value for the pinch bolt! Hopefully sorted with the new design.
Chainsuck? Mmm, I’d say no more than any other chainset I’ve used. I’ve had other SS chainrings – both middles and 3 ring sets which appear fine (and good vfm).
Bottom Brackets? Dogshite. Both the Aerozine and standard SS bb’s suck in water and seize at the drop of a hat! Now happily running a HOPE bb instead.
Other than that I’d got one of the first sets for £99 which was cracking value, they look good and are nice and light, don’t find them flexy but I’m not packing too many pies…
