Shimano 10 SP Crank Compatability

[love2fly]

Howdy.

I ride Ultegra 10 SP  on my road bike and am looking at replacing chainrings (53:39), potentially going with a replacement used crankset.

I see a lot more 11sp cranksets for sale used, would they be compatible or do I have to replace like for like.

Cheers

I did exactly that on my previous 10sp Ultegra groupset bike. Replaced the 10sp 53/39 cranks with an 11sp 50/34 105 crankset.

It worked fine except for the odd chain drop incident. I can't remember however whether I'd switched to an 11sp chain - which might've resolved the chain drop issue.

Be careful buying used Shimano cranks. You need to make sure that the seller has had them inspected under the Shimano recall.

Thanks @love2fly

Checking today the rubbish from the water point is gone. Thanks to those that removed it.

Good point.
