TruVativ Rouleur vs Elita (triple)
I may have an opportunity to pick up a slightly used TruVativ Rouleur triple crank (not carbon) for about 1/3 list. My bike currently has a TruVativ Elita, circa 2006. Is this much of an upgrade? Is it worth $65. There's nothing wrong with the Elita and it has about 1800 miles on it.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Not an upgrade unless you want a triple.

The Rouleur crank is a little lighter but sacrifices strength over the Elita and I have read articles here where people have had a Rouleur crank break on them. The Elita is a strong workhorse crankset.
