If you are thinking about buying a carbon crankset, there will probably be only one choice that will work with your new crank. Your old one will not work with it if you are thinking about changing from 3 to 2 chainrings. Most carbon cranksets are a 2

Does anyone have a report on the Stronglight Carbon Fiber Crankset?

Cool looks and realible working every time but high cost and little more weight this is 880g and nowdays I think this crank is heavy in comparison to other high-cost crankset.

I like all the Carbon Crank sets, the only one I'm not sure

How much do you think this bike worth?

Recently my friend has rebuild a totally new 2008 Scott s60 flat bar road bike into following specification. It has become a drop bar road bike and he is selling it for $1200, do you guys think it worth the price?Is this spec looks good?

It's not badly priced, but I reckon you could get a similar spec to that for the same money for a new bike.
The most important thing is the fit though as even if you buy a $10000 bike it's no good to you if it's the wrong size.

wat are some cons and pros about the bb30 crankset on the cannondale carbon six 5 and the tarmac elite wats the difference between these two cranksets.

The crankset isn't BB30, the bottom bracket is.

BB30 is basically a bearing pressed into the bottom bracket. The crank spindle is then pushed through the bearings and held against lateral motion by E-rings.

The plus side

9 speed vs. 10 speed??? Thoughts?

I'm upgrading an old 1992 Cannondale R600 roadbike from a 7speed drivetrain and can't decide if I should go to a 9 speed or 10 speed set-up. I think the 10 speed set-up would force me to replace the crankset whereas I could keep the stock crankset with

YIPES! I would reconsider this move. Let's forget about the compatibility of parts for the moment.

Going from a 7 speed to 8/9/10 requires resetting the rear spacing and realigning the dropouts. This is next to impossible with Cannondale-

ride on purpose: Look 585

Been sick the last few days- ended up resting entirely since last Thursday's WTR race. Woke up this morning feeling well enough that I knew I'd be able to go on the group ride today if I took it a bit easy and be able to race WTR tomorrow. Figured I wasn't necessarily 100%, but that is was definitely time to get out on the new bike. Tonight's group ride was about a 45 mile loop. The bike felt good from the beginning- the lack of weight was noticeable on even the slightest hill and it felt extremely responsive to any input both handling and acceleration (and without any harshness in the ride quality). I eased into things for the first 30 miles or so and worked my turns at the front, tried to get used to the handling and fit of the new bike etc.. There was going to be a town line sprint at mile 30 though and in the back of my mind I was hoping it would be contested (they aren't always contested due to individuals position in the paceline and car traffic etc.). I was sitting in the...
