Looks like FSA now has four (?) adventure/nerd cranks in their lineup.

The best FSA crank is one that is easy to remove, and compact when fitting in the trash.

The fsa orbit mx headset is pretty nice, and is available for $25 on eBay in many colors. Other than that though, yeah no

FSA stems, seatposts and handlebars are not appreciably bad.

> The toggle joint on this brake creates more mechanical advantage than one really needs. This mechanism is normally used on mechanical punches or brakes for railway cars. After some more testing I might shorten up the length of the arms a little. These brakes mount to the same style pivots and spacing as MAFAC Raid, Compass, and Grand Bois centerpulls. No brake hanger required and short pull brake lever compatible. I was inspired to build these after ogling the Lever-Link brake that Charlie Cunningham created over 30 years ago. Who knew that centerpulls would make a comeback? #notreallyacenterpull #togglejoint #brake #chrome #chapmancycles

Those brakes look so awesome. I hope someone puts them into production just to spite Jan and his Compass brakes.

I’ve been told, and believe, that anything FSA that is a circle or goes in a circle isn’t worth using. Everything else is just fine as long as you’re not looking for fancy. But it’s not hard to make decent bars/stem/posts.

I have a couple of their super setback SL220 posts and they have a nice clamp, quite light. The energy cranks in BB30 and 24mm haven’t failed on me yet, but the 24mm BB was garbage.
