Cadence Components 150mm Bike Crankset--Anodized Aluminum, Compact Chainset 50/34t

Everything worked great at first, but after 200 miles, it started to creak. Now at about 400 miles of usage, it's creaking pretty loud. I know this sound very well, because I've heard it twice before. The drive side crank arm is about to snap. I'll be surprised to get more than 800 miles of total usage out of this.Also, I noticed there was a decent gap between the chainring and my frame. My front derailleur is indexed so High that I get chain rub mid cassette. Chain keeps dropping and getting stuck in there.So if you ride hard or if you use a PF30 BB shell, avoid this product

If you've never tried short cranks before, give it a shot. Most cyclists, especially triathletes and time trialists, lose a lot of power at the top of the pedal stroke with longer cranks because the thigh-torso angle is too constrained. Short cranks solve that problem and many riders find they suddenly have 10 watts extra power in an aero position.The great thing with these cranks, is it doesn't cost that much to give short cranks a try. Cobb and some other short cranks cost 4-5X as much. Moreover, the Cobb (and many other) short cranks have a really wide q-factor, which is neither aerodynamic nor ergonomic. The MN Cyclery cranks keep the q factor down. These guys also really support their product, quickly answering technical questions &etc. Excellent all around.

So very thankful for the company that makes these. I have bad knees and I am finally able to ride again!! I was looking all over the internet for short cranks and couldn't find anything. I cannot thank you guys enough!

Just what I was looking for! Installation was simple. Perfectly priced.

I cant believe how much a shorter crank has helped. The crankset has held up great so far and I'd highly recommend it for anybody toying with the idea of trying a short crank.
