Arrived damaged
The non-drive side crank arrived damaged. I am processing a return and will update a review once I receive and install a replacement!Edit: I received the replacement, and it too was damaged in the same spot. So I'm keeping the rating at 1 star, due to some serious quality control issues. Not surprising given the non-name brand origin. I hope the equipment will last more than 6 months, but I'm not super optimistic.

Came quick and fit my motorized gas bike frame well and feels smooth little confusing putting together due to no instructions but all in all good product

Good crankset, odd bottom bracket
This crankset is very similar to a Shimano Hollowtech in design and fitment. In fact, I used Shimano's manual for installation since this did not come with any kind of instructions. Installation was, however, rather frustrating because the bottom bracket seems to have odd external dimensions. The threads are fine but the external width of the adapters is wider than it should be and throws off the overall bottom bracket width when installed. The bike I installed it on had a 68mm BB shell so there should be two 2.5mm spacers on the drive side and one 2.5mm spacer on the NDS. When installed this way the crankshaft would not extend far enough out the other side to mount the NDS crank arm. I removed various spacers and reinstalled the BB several times but was never able to get the spacing to line up correctly. I finally gave up and replaced the BB with an old BB80 I had lying around. After that, the crankset fit perfectly. The crankset itself seems to be of good quality. It fits well, doesn't creak, and pedals smoothly. It also looks nice because the similarity to a Shimano crankset is undeniable. The chainring is a no-frills standard tooth ring. Since I am setting this bike up as a 1X commuter, I will likely replace the chainring with a narrow-wide 42t when I get the chance. Overall I'd say this is a 4-star budget crankset but it definitely loses a star due to the bottom bracket.

Awesome bang for your buck!
I don't think you can beat the value of this crankset. I have yet to get a long term review, but initial impression is high. The finish on these is similar to most black colored cranksets. It's a slightly textured powder coat type finish. How well it will hold up is questionable. In the a package you get the crankset, crank arm cap, chainring, bottom bracket, steel chairing bolts, and a plastic crank arm cap tool. These cranks are made very similar to Promax CF2 BMX, or Insight 2pc BMX cranks. Not hollow arm, these are cast and have a machined out type backside. I weighed these and they fall somewhere in between heavy and light at 2365grams. I show other cranksets weight for comparison. The black set without a logo is the standard 2pc BMX crankset off of a Haro Raclite pro. These happen to be lighter than those. The included chainring looks really nice, and well made. I've ordered several "machined" chainrings on Amazon, and most have been garbage, but this one looks to be decent quality. Not sure how well it will wear, or if it meshes perfectly to a chain (which I've have a problem with in the past with "cheap" chainrings" having the tolerances off). This one, the chain seems to wrap around it correctly. The real good, is the bottom bracket...holy cow is it smooth! None of my other cranksets had a bottom bracket that spun as smooth as this one. Could be good, could be bad, but it seems well constructed, and only time will tell how long it lasts. All in all, you'd be hard pressed to beat the quality of this crankset for the money. Hopefully they hold up, and that will be the real story. With all that said, initial impression is really good.

Very smooth, heavy-duty crankset. Good value.
This crankset turns very smoothly in the included bottom bracket. I previously had a carbon fiber Campy crankset that I eventually sold when parting out my previous bike build. That set is easily 2x or 3x as expensive as this set, but to my recollection ran at about the same smoothness. The only difference is this set doesn't have that signature Campy click and whir, which I can live without.In addition, this set is heavier being a machined chunk of metal. I'm not as worried about weight on this build, and I am actually happy at how durable the crank arms feel.I elected for the oval 32T chainring to see how I like it. I am slowly rebuilding this bicycle, so I am not able to comment yet on how well the oval chainring works. However, on first blush, it looks solid and pretty uniform, with no obvious teeth askew.The installation was overall simple and straightforward. Just note that this does not include instructions, but hopefully you know what you are doing, if you are buying a cranksetThe only hitch I hit was that one of the bottom bracket caps was a lot harder to insert than the other. I'm not sure if it was the threads on my frame or the cap that caused the struggle. But after about five tries, I got it to seat in. I ended up using two included spacer rings to get the caps to sit well. Hopefully, that doesn't lead to any chain angle issues as I build.Overall though, I am very pleased with this set. A great value considering how nice the bottom bracket turns.
