FSA Carbon cranks

[JasonW]

I'm thinking of upgrading my crankset (Ultegra) to either Dura Ace or to a FSA carbon crankset.

 

Does anybody have an opinions on recent model FSA cranksets? I notice that roadbikereview is often not very complimentary, however this seems to be for older models.

i dont really know much about cranks...but the new carbon Dura Ace are very nice.

Check out KCNC stuff.. they have AWESOME cranks.. lighter than FSA and DA...

Don?t go FSA  bought a MegaExo carbon crank 170mm done less than 10000km the link in between left arm & crank becomes easily with a lot of play <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Rode the FSA SLK cranks.  Not bad.  Nothing wrong with them.

I think Dura Ace is lighter though.

 

Stiffness.....Dilbert?  Wa jy??

Gut says DA.

 

As for cosmetics.....If you like the carbon look, then FSA is your toy......Alu = DA.

 

So the real question is.......

What would Lassie choose?

No problems with FSA myself.

 

The Zipp carbon cranks look awesome too. Saw them at 94.7 expo at Joss' stall

FSA looks much better.I'm also currently looking at new cranks.Choosing between DA and FSA K-Force cranks.Think I'll go for the FSA

[JasonW]

Great, thanks for the responses guys. Not really fussed about cosmetics. Would rather have something that works!

 

Does anybody know if Shimano will bring out a compact DA set?

[Kriek]

Maybe with the carbon version.... don't know
