cranks make me cranky!

[tanyha]

I'm looking into cranksets and am a bit confused about what makes one better than another. Primarily looking at the Shimano XT, Ritchey WCS, and Truvativ Stylo Team MTB. I have a Jamis Dakar Sport. Any suggestions?

You're best bet is to check out MTBReview (http://www.mtbreview.com).

That's what steered me away from a Shimano XT (44-32-22) for a Truvativ Stylo, with raceface ISIS BB.

Thanks for your reply. I've already looked there as well but didn't find many reviews for anything besides XT. Those reviews are also why I'm soliciting a little more input. How do you like the Truvativ Stylo?

I love it...
No creaks, no clunks, no errors. And the ISIS BB is as smooth as butter.

Plus it looks pretty cool....
