Beetle_Juice Posted December 12, 2008 Share Hi all, i am currently riding on an utegra crank (normal one not compact) with ultegra BB - to be honest i have not really enjoyed it very much so i am wanting to change it out - and would love some opinions on what you guys think are really good cranks and BB - and im looking for a normal crank size again nopt a compact - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted December 12, 2008 Share What's not to enjoy about a crank set? You wanting some more bling? A bit of ceramic in the BB and some carbon on the crank arms? Some Ti bolts and composite blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle_Juice Posted December 12, 2008 Share maybe just my opinion - but i find it (the bb at least) to be really stiff - which i thought would ease up a bit after a while - but a couple of thousand KM later and still the same - so im sick of it and want to get rid of it - it like riding carrying an extra 10 - 15 KG on the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted December 12, 2008 Share I thought stiffer is better? If the BB is faulty replace it. If it has some seal drag, that's good, it means the seals are still new and doing their work.Find a better excuse for wanting another crank.

JPW# Posted December 15, 2008 Share The only thing I hate about Ultegra is the blade wear, and its 600 bucks to replace a blade.... madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted December 15, 2008 Share open up the bearings and clean out the grease, refill with a lighter viscosity racing grease and some prolong! or just replace the bearings with ceramics. or get new a Chris King BB... the crank arms are not the problem, maybe the little plastic screw thingy is too tight?
