sORRY - IN A BIG QUANDRY TODAY !!! 🙂

I know its like comparing champagne with a sparkling wine but is the £249 price tag just for bling for me or is the SLX (£59 ex BB) a more sensible option - don't want to go XTR and seems the slight weight difference and stiffness of the XT means its not really an option for an extra £60. So Any advangtages apart from its nice looks for me to get the FSA's over the slx'S?

i can vouch for the SLX, im a heavy rider and they have been faultless in the 18months ive had them, just get a better looking bashguard with some of th e££ you'd save, makes them look much better!

I was thinking of triple as for a new XC frame and replacing my old LX cranks for something a bit lighter and stiffer 🙂

FSA have great warranties on their carbon cranks. Their pedal threads give up at about the same time as their rings wear out and BBs fail. I'm on my second warrantied replacement. 😀
