Had a Gossamer on my old Fuji Roubaix and never had a problem even though I rode the crap out of that bike.

I don't understand this. If FSA is so bad why do so many major brands use their cranks as a substitute for Shimano? Even many high end bikes put equivalent FSA cranks on an otherwise full Shimano component group.

I'm not defending FSA. I like Shimano myself. Just wondering...
