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

FSA Crankset
I just put an FSA carbon crankset on my Pinarello that replaced a Campy Chorus crank. I used the Italian BB and when complete I noticed that the crankset was harder to turn than before. My LBS tells me that it may relax and not be as stiff after I put a few miles into them. Any advice or similar results from others?

Your LBS is right. New bearings are a bit stiff and loosen up after some riding
