Cannondale RW700 road bike if it matters....
I recently had a problem with my left crank arm. Seems the bolt
loosened and semi-stripped the octalink splines on the crank arm (BB
is OK). Now I have to stop every few miles and tighten the crank bolt
with my 8mm. (even with a torque wrench the bolt loosens). The crank
is a Cannondale EX, and the Cannondale factory or dealers won't sell
me a single left arm. The tech guy said I'd have to buy the set (cost
way more than I should have to spend). I've decided to buy a 105, or
Ultegra instead of the C'dale.
My question.... if I buy JUST the crank arms (w/o chainrings) will my
52/42/30 chainrings fit the Shimano stuff, are they
standard/compatible?
Thanks for the info, -Karl
