They feel pretty rock solid to me. I just assembled the thing a day ago so i haven't really done much on the bike, I haven't gained any trust in it yet.

In hindsight I would have gone LHD spline drive compared to RHD bolt drive with these cranks. There is one huge con about these cranks. They're two piece, that spindle is welded to the arm.... I would have much rather had three piece or 2.5's (because I can't rotate the spindle, like i rotate a bolt drive chain wheel with more then one hole.)

Am I happy with them, YES. But they are only two days old. I have a feeling that they won't have the longevity of 3-piece and 2.5-piece cranks because they can be assembled one way and one way only.

I hope i never have to replace that bolt drive chainwheel, with the profile BB i have on there the cranks are pretty "snug" a.k.a. I was beating on my $1000+ ride with a stick and a mallet for a few hours. Piece of crap.
