Upgrading cranksets: Shimano Dura Ace vs FSA Mega Exo

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Depends on what you are looking for. The DA is lighter and stiffer than the FSA, but the FSA looks sweet with the carbon. If you are going compact, the FSA is about your only choice. Truly, need more info for an outsider to decide for you.

Truvativ also makes both an alloy and Carbon external Bearing crankset. (both alloy and CF) in lengths up to 177.5 (no 180mm for some reason)
