All I know is how many unhappy customers of theirs were posting about poorly machined parts on SpeedTalk a few(?) years ago. Basically scared me away from wanting to get anything from them when I was looking for cranks.

I read the four page write up on reasons why and dirt and filth were blamed.

I never had the issue with the dirty parts that someone spoke of from Molnar either. His cranks a pretty much a discount considering the quality you get from him for the money. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxaesJ190U http://youtu.be/lCZAaN7fFLg
