FSA SLK Compact MegaExo Cranks: A short review: Bikefanclub.com

Since some forum members seem to be interested in these, I thought I'd share my impressions after a few hundred miles.

As I stated in an earlier post, I'm a big rider and ride a Tetra Pro 64cm. It came with the "extra stiff" tubeset. Because of a little flex in the bb, I regretted not getting the "super stiff" option. I wanted to try the Shimano 7800 cranks but I'm sold on compact cranks, so I was using the FSA carbon pro compact with the Pro Ti bb.

When I saw the SLK Compact MegaExo this year I thought, "That's for me!". Install was easy. Are they stiffer? The little bit of flex I noticed is now gone. So, I would say they are. By how much? I have no idea.

In another post someone mentioned others having problems with the MegaExo setup. I haven't had any yet, but I'll post any problems if they occur.

If you have any other questions, fire away.

Thanks for all the great info you all share here on a regular basis.
