crank upgrade?
I am currently running campy record 175 through axle (square bolt , not offboard bearing type) and was wanting to move to an offboard bearing crankset or something as light and stiff (tune?)
looking for recommendations around 500 ? something lighter than im currently running that I wont have to worry about tearing up (im 210 lbsish 6 foot 5) |
chorus or record ultra torque. done.
|
considering that is out of my price range (i dont run compact and dont plan on it any time soon)

The Centaur would also be 10 spd. New Record, Chorus and Athena are 11 spd and the spacing between the chain rings may have decreased as they did from 9 to 10. |

Realize however that the square taper Campy BB has less friction than modern external bearing bb's. IMHO, not much of an upgrade, and not worth the cost. And unless you're flexing the crank to the point that its rubbing on the derailleur, or dropping the chain, getting a stiffer crank is highly overrated. |

The loose ball BBs can be adjusted soooo smoothly. How do the older square taper cartridge BBs compare ? |
ditto on the prices of the square taper stuff they are smooth and pretty darn cheap now im running it on both of my good roadies and my race bike
