Forged Alloy vs. Carbon cranks
I am trying to decide between these two cranksets.

I am wondering if anyone has used carbon cranks, and if so, what are the benefits/drawbacks of them compared to traditional forged cranks?

Are you going to be competing on the track professionally? If yes, than carbon.
Are you going to be tooling around town? If yes, than anything forged.
