This my 3rd XT crankset (on three dif. bikes) and I have put them thru the wringer and more. For your $ one of best choices out there. Decent weight and strong. 'Nuff said.
If you ever have considered 1x10 or 1x11...do it! This crankset, cog, and a sunrace 11-42 casette made my rides faster! And upgrading the drivetrain from 2x10 took 1.5lbs off the bike!
