Well I ended up going with a 105 Crankset as I found a really great deal on one over the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] of July Holiday. I still need to get a new BB for it or just let my LBS get one for me. I don’t have the tools for removing the old BB so I will probably just let them do it versus buying the tool for one time use.
Hopefully the switch over goes smoothly, I will put on my new chain as well as my new rear cassette. Looking forward to seeing how it will ride with the new gearing. At some point I will install my new shifters (9 speed 105, direct replacement) I picked several years ago.
