Crank Brothers has some of the most awesome packaging I have ever seen. I have their egg beater pedals on both my bikes. They are works of art and perform very well.

I suspect the reason the arms don’t show scratches and shoe rub is that they’re faced with stainless steel, a MUCH harder material than the traditional forged or CNC’d aluminum crankarms.

I also wonder about choosing ISIS for a BB standard. Weird.

Mark, I agree, the narrower Q factor was a definete plus for me as well.

I had the same concerns as you did Robb. I originally had a Token BB (that was very beautiful btw!) and it didn’t even last 9 months. The Crank Brothers BB has a 5 year warranty, so you can’t go wrong there. It also has a cool little blue seal for added protection that I would reccomend putting a small amount of glue on.

Good review.

While the Crank Bros cranks look great on the bike…I still can’t jump on the ISIS bottom bracket. The bearings just don’t hold up like square tapers. I would have really liked to see a x-type BB.

I have Cobalt cranks on both of my bikes. For me, it’s all about the narrower q-factor. I’ve tried cranks with similar dimensions (RaceFace Deus XC), but even though they were only 1-2mm wider, my shoes would “catch” on the arms.

Crank Bros’ warranty is top notch. I noticed that the spider/chainrings on one of my cranks had a “wobble,” so I e-mailed CB, who told me to send them back. On the same day they received my cranks, a new set was shipped out. THAT’S service!
