Well I have had these cranks for little over a month and I have absolutely no complaints about them. The first thing i noticed is that the paint is amazingly thick. I have yet to chip them and the paint has held up perfectly except for a few minor scratches on the bottom. The second thing that caught my attention is the weight these suckers are pretty light. The outer plate and back bone are two pieces joined at the back. This helps to eliminate weak pedal and spindle mount welds. These cranks feel very sturdy and have no flex or play in them and I like to pedal hard and fast. They go on super tight and fit really snug on the spindle and were a bitch the get on and off the first few time they come with their own crank tool though.
Here's what they looked like when i got them
And here they are now
Pro's
Thick Paint
Lightweight
Good Design
Many Colors
Strong
Both LHD & RHD compatible
Come with their own crank tool
Con's
Bitch to get on
May not like the boxy look
So if your looking to get some strong reliable cranks with a lightweight design and super nice paint I would recommend the Torrids any day.
I will give these a 9.7/10 because nothing is perfect
