Since I promised, here is my quick review fo the FSA Gossamer MegaExo crankset. Installation was quick and relatively easy, or at least eaiser than a regular BB. The only hitch is you must have a tool for the outboard cups, but luckily the Shimano wrench is the same (Park Tool # BBT-9), so I was able to get one at my local LBS since the retailer who sent it didn't put one in...anyway, after the initial safety check and short ride, I then took to the bike path and reefed on the cranks pretty good. Maybe it was my imagination, but it did feel stiffer. BUT, that shouldn't be too tough to accomplish since the unit I was replacing is an older square BB with lower grade cranks. A neutral party at the LBS thought it would really stiffen up the drivetrain though. I also like the looks too, and servicing is a bit simplified, if needed.
