  • Anyone got any good solutions to the new 105 lacking a 46/30 crankset option?

    I can see

    1. Get a separate crank (PiTA)
    2. Absoluteblack overpriced subcompact chainrings
  • I've looked into those as well - it seems to come down to 1.) massively expensive stand-alone crankset 2.) bodge a triple 3.) get some expensive chainrings OR adapters. My LBS warned me off Roadlink/Tanpan - apparently they incur a 'fiddle with the cable tension prior to every ride' penalty..

  • As you can buy the 48/32t chainring on their own, it may be possible to just fit that on a normal 110BCD chainset, as the 32t chainring's bolt isn't standard which is why it's possible to go down to a 32t, but the praxis work chainring appear to have a norminal 110BCD mount.

    Will order one in to see if I can fit the praxis work chainring on my sora chainset.

    Lastly, the FSA offering isn't a bad choice if you get over the brand snobbery, they do a 46/30 in square taper for cheap;
