Yup, 7 oz. or about 170grams. That's the weight difference from the 8sp Campy Mirage crank and Centaur BB that was on my PedalForce, to the new Centaur CF compact crank and BB cups that are on it now. Not a bad weight loss program!
The new 10sp crank works well with the rest of the 8sp groupset that's on it. I had to lower the front der, and make some minor changes to the limit screws, but other than that, it's shifting fine. I might decide to remove 1 link from the chain, or when I change it next time, make the new one a link shorter. But other than that, there aren't any issues.
Wonder if I'll notice the increase in stiffness with the new setup?
Now I have a LOW gear at 34/26! That should make some of the steeps a lot easier. I'll find out on Sunday.
