FSA Nasty Boy Crankset
November 15th, 2007
The new nasty boy cranks by FSA are far better than the previous years. We had one of the local rippers try them out and he put together his thoughts on the cranks. The biggest improvement that I noticed was the fact that they machined each crank after they were painted. I have had a few sets of BMX style cranks that when the sprocket was bolted to the arm, it wobbled. The build up of paint on one side would make the sprocket not sit flat. Well FSA has fixed that! Here is Shawn Wilson’s take on things.
First off I was happy to try out some new cranks, my old ones were creaking.
Likes
- They look very well made and have good looking welds.
- They never come loose.
- Even after tons of pedal and crank arm grinds there is no signs of cracks or dents.
- Any flex is not noticable.
- They don’t make noise.
- Plus they look really good.
Disikes
- The arms are a very tight fit on the spindle and make them a little bit harder to get back off.
Thanks to Wilson for the review and testing. Also thanks to FSA for the great crank design!!
