Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It should be about time for the OP to replace his cranks again and I'm with @Noctilux.95.

Anyone looking at Dura Ace should also look at the Easton EC90 SL system.

I hope it looks better IRL than in photos, because I threw up in my mouth a little when I looked...

Yes, I ended up going with Ultegra :-)

I can't believe someone revived this thread from 2012.

They are getting more common in the gravel scene, that's for sure.

They are light, easy to install and both the cinch system and direct drive are elegant designs from a mechanical perspective.
