Absolutely cracking. Had mine over 2 years and no problems.
The only gripe is that the chainrings are sh1Te. Mine wore out within 3 months of moderate use, but I replaced them with Blackspire inner and middle with a bash ring and they are still goign strong.
The Hollowtech II bearings have lasted far longer than any ISIS or cup-and-cone BB that I've ever owned.
I'd give 'em 9/10 - if the chainrings were better it would be top marks.0 -
it looks like it's exactly the same as LX but painted black with a "HONE" sticker on it? dunno if there's any other difference?0

Indeed - I have the LX Hollowtech 2 on my old Stumpy and it looks EXACTLY the same!!
Good crankset though and my chainrings are still okay. I did slice my hand open on it last week though. It hurt.0 -
