Testing the Cybrei Carbon Crank on the Sworks SL8
zhlédnutí 4,2KPřed 3 měsíci
So my feelings on the 3 cranksets are; 1. Rotor Aldu - proven, light crankset with nice 1 piece double chainring. Possible limited lifetime? 2. Cybrei - well made, light crankset, a touch lighter than Rotor, but no significant price advantage. Conventional 4 arm spider and 'carbon' chainring offer no real advantage. 3. Dura Ace - solid performance, fit and forget, but heavy, lack of innovation....
