BICYCLE

Is it worth it upgrading a RaceFace RideXC Crank for a FSA Carbon Crankset ?

I have a 2005 K2 razorback comp bicycle,

First off, FSA makes cool stuff but I will never buy any of it because I used to work in a shop that was owned by one of the co-owners of FSA. Nuff said. Second; carbon cranks on a mountain bike,bad idea. Your cranks take shots that you never even think about and the stuff has a tendancy to explode when it fails instead of bending or just cracking. Biggest reason to never get rid of Race Face… A couple of my inner chainring bolts came loose (probably my own fault for not checking) and as a result, my small ring broke into three pieces during a really crappy climb. I called Race Face knowing full well that the cranks were out of warranty and I told them as much. I explained what happened and asked if they could repair them for me at my cost. They said no, but instead sold me a brand new set of cranks and their top of the line freeride bottom bracket for $55.00. The kicker is when I got the BB, the box has a born on date. It was the same date as my birthday. I will never get rid of that box. NOBODY WILL EVER TAKE CARE OF YOU LIKE THE GUYS AT RACE FACE!!!!!!
