Ultegra 6800 vs 105 5800 crankset
Hello all,
Hate to start another thread about cranksets, but because it is another dicussion entirely (last one, I promise):
I am doubting between the Shimano Ultegra 6800 or Shimano 105 5800 crankset
- Shimano 105 5800 crankset weighs 727g without bottom bracket, can be found for $79 on Ribble right now.
- Shimano Ultegra 6800 crankset weighs 680g without bottom bracket, $148 on Wiggle right now.
So the Ultegra is 47g lighter. Both are very similar design. Not really that big of a difference, but still. What would you buy?
I am not so concerned about the weight, more about durability etc. Do Ultegra components really last longer?
Also, if I ever decide to sell the bike, being able to say that it has Ultegra on it "looks" a lot better, than saying it has 105. This is my main concern. Will the Ultegra components increase the value of the bike (a little bit)?
Thanks!
