Some of you may know, but recently I have had some major problems with FSA parts. After deciding to change my crank to a nice new FSA V-Drive crank I was slightly miffed when it kept coming undone, eventually this became so damaged I had to replace it along with the BB. So to give FSA benefit of the doubt I bought FSA BB and V-drive crank, should have no problems now i thought, but no it kept coming un-done again, so I had to use threadlock, this solved the problem, but after a total of maybe oooooooohhh 50 miles the BB broke in 2, so off to the shop. Where before FSA said it was my fault for it coming un-done, they said it was a manaufacturing fault and gave me a new one. So professional parts professionally fitted, where better to test it then CyB, everything seemed fine, but after 8 miles of the Red Bull, something didn't feel right, Yep the crank was coming off again. :evil:
Has anyone else had any problems with FSA and can anyone recommend a solid crank and BB?

Did you take your latest back to the shop to see about why it was loose already? Have you ridden it since?

I seem to remember everybody was saying buy Race Face when we were chatting about it at Coed y Brenin ... I reckon I'll second that again :D

the shop just said don't use FSA again, and they agreed, that you shouldn't have to threadlock a crank. problem is i'm stuck with it until i have the cash for a new one. :?
