Addiction 2021.3

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

I just rolled up my sleeve, and told her to do whatever she wants. They then sent me down to the lab, and I gave them about a gallon of blood. I get to give more next Monday when I get my CT Scan. All part of a study I'm in for the COPD nonsense they say I have.

So far I'm unable to find a replacement crankset from Campagnolo or Fulcrum Racing. It's 10 speed, 50x34, 175 length, and Ultra Torque bb. I've seen 11 speed, don't know what the difference is except maybe the thickness of the rings?
Seen Power Torque stuff. That looks like the way Shimano cranks bolt together. Don't know if it will fit in the Ultra Torque cups.
I know a Campagnolo freak who might have the answers. I should call him. I only call him when I want something.

For Shimano at least, you can use an 11 speed crankset on 10 speed drivetrain. I expect the same is true for you but check with your expert.

I'm running an Ultra Torque 11 speed Centaur crank, 50x34, 175 on the Bianchi. It works fine. Or it WOULD, if the left Ergo lever hadn't decided shifting was too much bother.
EDIT: Planet Cyclery has ONE left.

I think Campy is even easier than Shimano because the front lever is all ratchets, no indexing at all, so spacing is irrelevant. At least, mine work like that.

Much taller than eight feet, but not 30 feet (wut).

Hard for me to estimate exactly.
