In 2016, seeking to swap the stock crankset on my Dahon Dash, I bought a set of Litepro crank arms and a 47T chainring.



Today I removed it from the FSIR Spin 5 where it now lives to clean and lube the spline and bottom bracket. What does it look like seven plus years later?











The item remains in excellent physical and operational condition, with only the smallest hints of rust despite the torrid, constantly warm and humid conditions, the teeth on the chainring are still in good condition and so are the teeth on the spline and the non-drive side crank arm. I can't remember what I paid in 2016, but today they go for under $35, BB and chainring bolts included. A no-brainer.
