Im aware the older ones suffered with spline wear, anyone have any experience/problems with the later exi interface ones...
Dunno, my early ones have been fine? Currently on the SS so getting more of a mashing than usual.
I've got the 2010 Deus XC on one bike - only a couple of months but faultless.
Got 2008 Evolve XC on another, brilliant and the 2010 Ride SS are also super dooper, even the BB is fine after a year of riding in all conditions and very limited cleaning
sounding good, just got a pair of 2010s super cheap
Used two different sets over last couple of bikes. Light, stiff, look great and continue to do so for a long time. Prefer them to xtr. BB is shite though, got an XTR BB on mine now.
+1 for looking good in the long term, just take a bit of brasso to mine every so often if I'm feeling tarty, but then again I've not washed it in 3 months now!
Felxy though, not badly, but feel more like square taper cranks than something like shimano XT which I can only feel flexing with burgtech flats.
