GIRR Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Alright I haven't been able to come right with getting an Ultegra Sl crank. What other cranks are out there that you hubbers would recommend (in the same price range as the Ultegra Sl 2k - 3k). I currently have a Shimano 105 but want something that is lighter and at least as stiff. So any recommendations...
busch1 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 FSA slk carbon R3033 or the fulcrum racing torq r solid R2296 busch12008-10-10 09:59:45

GIRR Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 http://www.totalcycling.com/images/image/19470_190534.jpgOk those do look really cool and weigh 751 grams compared to 788g for the Ultegra SL. Now to find out who distributes them in SA(and what they will retail here), I'm not to keen on ordering on the net if I can avoid it.
GIRR Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 963grams Ja thats with the BB, but still really heavy.
busch1 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I will talk to the guy from cycle lab for you cause i know we get some fulcrum stuff busch12008-10-10 10:04:14
Spaceboy Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I got my Ultegra SL compact crankset a few months ago from comobike.com.... and it was delivered within a week, and i am very happy with it. It is R200 more expensive now, but i think still a good deal http://www.comobike.com/southafrica/ct/shop/pages/articolo.php?articolo_id=3663
Speedi Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Get a DA crank off the Hub! Whats better than a nice 7800 DA crank?
GIRR Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 j&j cycling is the main provider of fulcrum Kwl thanks

GIRR Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 Get a DA crank off the Hub! Whats better than a nice 7800 DA crank? For some reason sellers in Gauteng always seem to have 172.5 cranks and the guys with the stuff I want in Western Cape...go figure...But I prefer to do face to face deals when buying second hand goods.
