Hello rec.bicycles.tech,
I am going to buy a compact crankset. FSA makes a carbon one that looks very cool, and an aluminum
one that does not look so cool (FSA Energy Compact), but is much cheaper.
The AL Compact has not been around long enough for anyone to have an opinion yet, but what about the
other FSA Aluminum cranks. Is there any noticable difference from an ultegra or DA9 crank in terms
of flex or shifting quality? Basically wondering if there is anything bad about these cranksets
compared to their Shimano counterparts.
And finally, do you get anything other than a cooler looking crank and 75g less mass for the
extra $150 with the carbon crank? I don't think so, but if you have an alternative opinion, I'd
like to hear it.
Also, if you know of an alternative compact crankset that might be worth looking into, let me know
about it . . . there doesn't seem to be many.
Thanks!
