The RD2 is a crank commonly seen on OTP bikes. There's nothing wrong with that, but you'll actually see the Dura Ace set used a lot on the track by professionals...

It depends on what bike it's going on I suppose. What will you be using the bike for?

FC-7710 wont fit mount to a UN-54 bottom bracket.
It take an octalink bb, ie: BB-7710 bottom bracket.

If you want dura-ace look for an older 7600 crankset, it'll fit square taper bb like UN-54

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
