Most of FSA problems have been concentrated on
a) arm recalls
b) chainring quality
c) bottom bracket quality
In short, they suck in all areas. The only reason any manufacturer spec's FSA cranks OEM on their bikes is for pricepoint.
Crank in point, ****ty 50/34 compact gossamers that were standard on all cervelo S1's.
