... As for the crank, I think the ALUMINUM crank of either Chorus and Record, at MUCH less $ than DA or ultegra, with a really simple, very effective proven BB design is the way to go. SO MANY are swayed by the outside of the BB bearing crank, which answerts no \question, solves no problem with regard to the square taper BB/crank setup. PLEASE don't claim it is stiffer...it is when tested by a gorilla machine that exerts much more force than any human....
Peter,
Are you saying that Chalo Colina is not human?
