Anyone have them? worth £180? anything cheaper and similar weight? how resilient are they to rocks etc? what are the rings like?

I have run an FSA Carbon crank set for a couple of years without any problems at all, plenty miles on them 10/10 😀

Have recently bought a second set for my new build - really can't fault them and a very good price.

I've got the BB30 version on my Whyte 19 Ti SS, I wish I could have got it for that price 😥

They seem pretty tough.

The pedal inserts come out.

I bought 2 sets from On-One, one has already gone back after only 12 rides, I'm waiting on the other to go now...

They have a bit of a reputation amongst the racing fraternity as being "warranty specials" I'm afraid.

I've broken two sets with the pedal thread insert loosening. Both replaced without question under warranty. Great cranks as long as they keep replacing them. Last set lasted just as long as it took for the rings to wear out. Perfect timing 😀

3yr old set here going strong...look scruffy mind! rings lasted 18months on middleburn hardcotes now seem to be bearing up well, original bb lasted 12months so not bad...I'd be getting another set as think they are way pimpier than XTR :wink:...does the 170mm length make much difference though? anybody used both 170 and 175 and noticed?

A few people who have bought them from On-One have reported them as weighing far more than claimed. If that bothers you.

I have used 170 and 175. I prefer 170s I find the shorter cranks better for spinning. Plus they have more ground clearance and my knees don't come up as far as they did with 175. I now have 170 on everything apart from the singlespeed - leverage!
