I've been wanting to try a compact crankset, so I just competed some upgrades to my KHS Flite 2000 adding a compact crank and a few other items. I'm going to ride it for the first time tomorrow morning and I'm anxious to see what kind of difference it makes. Details and pictures below.
Parts added as part of upgrade:
- Ritchey WCS 110 V Compact Crankset – 580 gms
- IRD CD front derailleur - 88 grams
- Dura Ace bottom bracket – 173 gms
- Forte Pro Mg Ti Road Pedal – 200 gms/
pr
- New total weight with pedals: 17.5 lbs.
Bike now has Ritchey, cranks, seat post, stem and bars, Fizik Arione saddle, Velomax Circuit wheelset, IRD FD, Dura Ace BB, Ultegra 6500 brifters, 12/25 cassette and rear derailleur.
