Shimano Ultegra-SL 6601

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
any

Bike Setup:
trek 1200 with ultegra 6600 stuff except crankset which is 6601-SL

Summary:
I upgraded from ultegra 6500 crankset because I needed one more crankset for another bike.
Works well, shifting definitely improved but then again my old crankset had been used for quite long and was bit weary. I can not tell any significant difference in stiffness against 6500 series (even tho it has the fancy outboard bearings and crankset itself should be stiffer on paper. Maybe it's because I don't race much and sprint even less).
Both cranksets worked well.
Overall I'm very happy and would buy it again.
We'll just have to see how well it will last but I can't imagine anything that might go wrong with this crankset (bb bearings and chainrings are just normal consumables).

Strengths:
Shifts very well

Weaknesses:
none
