i like my miche cranks. a lot.
Well I've ridden IRO cranks on the old Campy bottom bracket just fine...flawlessly. So that's not an issue. I just can't decide if an upgrade is worth it. IRO works with old Campy. I am a burly thighed dude but I am still nervous about old Campy failing. Those pictures that come up every once in a while certainly don't help. I do plenty of hopping and skidding which is something they're not designed for.
