Hi,
My bike is an 8 speed with mostly DA components. I plan on switching to a 10 speed Campy setup in the future, but right now, I want to change out my crankset. I've been thinking of a FSA Carbon Pro Superlight Crankset, since it is compatible with the Campy 10. Is this swap possible? Are there any issues I should be concerned with? Thanks!

It should work fine. I don't know if I would sink that kind of cash into an 8 year old frame, but that's just my opinion.

I just installed the Super Light on my bike. I love it! Since FSA advertises it as 9-10 speed compatible, I think you might want to contact them (FSA) and ask the question. https://www.fullspeedahead.com/ 425-488-8653
