$100.00 Favorite Ride: GMR to Mt Baldy Bike Setup: Giant OCR Ltd w/ Ultegra 10spd, FSA Gossamer compact crank, Ritchey pedals, FSA 400 Wheels, Panaracer Stradia tires, Easton Bars, FSA stem, San Marco SKN saddle, Giant carbon post, Tacx cages, Trek Incite ACH computer Summary: I purchased this crankset a year ago, meaning to install it on my previous ride, a Cannondale Cadd 3 wi/ Ultegra. I was feeling like I finally wanted to get away from mashing the pedals and racing through the miies, but it still took another year and a new bike to finally make the shift to just spinning away the miles and easing up the hills. I had absolutely no problems setting up my new Giant OCR Ltd with this crankset. I am a pretty good "wrench" having worked on all of my bikes since I was a kid, you certainly don't have to be a rocket scientist, just good mechanical apptitude. Once I got used to the change of "pace" with the new gearing, I am back to spinning at my same pace but with a new ease. Strengths: Shifts nicely, runs quiet, looks good. I am sold on compacts. Weaknesses: None so far.... Similar Products Used: My first experience with a compact.
