Slightly off topic. But I'm gong with Campag 11spd for my roadie, and am in
twothree minds about cranks.option 1: HTFU, and buy a 170mm compact crank groupset, saving money, effort, and time.
option 2: Buy a groupset, sell the cranks (sans rings), buy some 165mm cranks, sell the rings, and have a better fitting drivechain. Which is a faff.
option 3: By the drivetrain component by component, meaning no massive single payment. But likely meaning more cost and a lot more time/effort.
TBH option 1 is very tempting (if I can clear the funds), but I am planning on taking this bike on some epic rides (maybe 540km if I dare), so fit is everything.
