Crank question (Force vs. Slk)
What do you think about the positives/negatives between the SRAM Force and the FSA SL-K Light cranksets?
I can get them for around the same price, so I'm more interested in performance (i.e., stiffness) and durability issues. For example, I've read about FSA's 2008-09 cranks having issues with drive-side crank arm loosening. Has this issue been resolved?
Really appreciate all feedback. Thanks!

I've never had a great FSA crank. The Gossamer I had shifted poorly, wore chains out prematurely, and both chain rings went kaput after not that many thousand miles. The Omega I replaced it with wasn't any better.

I've used an FSA-made Cannondale Carbon SI Crank for nearly 6 years with zero issues.
My wife's old bike had a Gossamer Crank. It worked fine, though it was very heavy and a triple.
I have a Force crank on my cross bike. It works great.
So, I guess you are pretty much good with whatever you choose.
FSA tends to be a little heavy compared to reported weights, but I think they fixed the problems they had a few years ago.
