I bought an aero seatpost for my specialized S-works E5 frame and I'm afraid that it's too long because of the aero part. Should I get a shorter 165mm crankset to compensate or get a regular 170mm and just get a different seatpost? Is there any downside to a shorter crankset. I'm a shorter rider 5'5" so i'm not sure which way to go with the crank. Another question, is there any advantage from a double to a triple? aside from getting more gear combos for climbs. Is the weight difference significant? and what is the main quality difference between an ultegra crank and a 105 crank? please help... Thanks
