New Shimano 105 5800 crankset that I picked up from Ribble.
This replaces my Ultegra 6700. I've been trying to do more spinning and less grinding so I though I'd try a compact crankset and have gone down from 39/53 on the Ultegra to a 34/50 on the 105. I've also downsized from 175mm cranks to 172.5mm. I've felt with the higher cadences I've been doing lately that a drop down in crank length was in order. Current cassette is 25-12.
As the Ultegra 6700 is 10 speed and the 105 5800 is 11 speed I did some reading up on the internet and it seems that for the crankset the 10 speed versus 11 speed shouldn't be a problem. I've only taken a quick spin up and down the road and the shifting seems ok at the moment. I haven't changed the chain length (maybe next time I change the chain I will take a link or two off) or the front derailleur position yet. I will have to see how things go tomorrow on a proper ride.
I didn't need to change the bottom bracket bearings, the Ultegra came straight off and the 105 went straight on.
Tools required for this job:
Torque wrench (the two left side bolts need to be tightened between 12 and 14 nm)
Hollowtech II crank install tool, part no TL-FC16 (this is a small plastic tool that you use to hand tighten the plastic bolt on the left crank, I've used expanding pliers for this job before with some success but the tool only costs $5).
15mm spanner to get the pedals off and on.
I also took the opportunity to weigh the parts.
Shimano 105 5800 172.5mm 34/50 crankset weights:
left:196g
right:540g
total:736g
Shimano Ultegra 6500 175mm 39/53 crankset weights:
left:201g
right:523g
total:724g

Yeah, I usually go a bit lighter on the scoops than what they recommend and probably only go through 5-6 bottles a week of it, so I can usually make it last awhile.

Ultegra 6700 Crankset for me and Ultegra 6800 Crankset for my wife. Bad idea - 'cause now I'm looking at other Ultegra stuff to swap out.
