I have an old set of RaceFace Deus cranks that are just about buggered - the drive side crank keeps coming loose. It is not in danger of coming off it just wobbles but you bet it is annoying me. The solution is to tighten the self extracting cap. Race Face fixed this and changed the design (I have another set and they use a different, read standard, self extracting bolt and cap) around 2006/7 I think.
Anyway I have just about made up my mind to buy SRAM's Truvativ Noir GXP 3.3 carbon redwins...they look purty with the red anodize bits and carbon crank arms. I notice even XTR FC-M970 cranks have moved to a similar bolt attachment for the left crank instead of the 2 pinch bolts formerly used on FC-M960 and still on the XT.
Anyone using these cranks? What is your experience? What year did you buy them?
