That's why I'm sticking with a square taper. I'm small 5'9" and 140 lbs. No matter what, I just can't flex a BB. Maybe if you're bigger or stronger than me, not hard to achieve, the newer designs can help.
Did you use the Power Shift or Ultra Shift? I'd like to hear some reviews on the Power Shift other than they can't shift an entire cassette in one motion.
I have no idea what shifters I have. They are 2012 model year veloce, whatever those have.
The whole square taper vs new stuff thing is a tough call. I have no problem with square taper if the crankset is good, but it seems like the lightweight 10/11 speed cranks are all going to have some type of outboard bearing BB (if it is a threaded BB).
