A common question about the FSA Carbon Pros is just how durable are the cranks - Do they scratch or mark easier than your traditional Alu crakset?

Simple Answer - Durability is GREAT! I have been riding them since october and have done around 1200Km on them and the only parts that have scratched are the lower parts of the arms (Mainly on rocks etc).

IMHO - The best feature of the cranks is the fact that the FSA logo is under the clear coat and will not come off, unlike my XTRS which came off in a few months.

Yep, I've been beating on my FSA Carbon Pros for nearly a year and they are still great! During this time, I've bashed the ends on countless rocks, roots, etc., and the ends do show some scuffing, but nothing major.

Also, the outside of the arms do tend to scuff slightly due to the occassional stray foot/ankle rubbing the arm, but a quick buff with some Lemon Pledge brings the luster back. The arms are noticeably stiffer than my previous RF LPs.

If I was to do it all over again, I'd buy these arms in a second.

And, as luck would have it, my FSA Platinum Pro Ti ISIS BB is still holding-up after nearly a year's worth of racing, riding and training. No play, creaks, etc. Bearings are still spinning smoothly. I know many ISIS BB's are plagued with premature bearing failure --- trust me, I've seen more than a few -- but so far, mine has been perfect.

Ride Hard,

I should really thank you Dirt Boy, for the great deal on the Carbon pros, as originally I didn't think they would be in my budget.

If I had to buy another pair the FSAs would be it!

Nice to see you on the new boards Dirt Boy.
