Shimano 105 FC 5600 crankset????
Hi folks.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/opinions on this crankset?
It is the standard 53/39 count.
Thanks.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
I'll put it this way --
I can't make the damn thing wobble.
I used to drop my chain under load with a Truvativ crank and its GXP bottom bracket. I had the FD so close that it would rub the chain on every right foot downstroke when I stood and mashed. After just a few hundred miles, I took it to the shop and asked about the chain drops, and they took it apart and said that, because the crank's spider was coming loose from its spindle, it wore out the BB. They offered to let me choose a different crankset for a warranty replacement, and recommended switching to a Shimano crank & BB because of the reliable record they had (plus, the 105 model would match my bike's 105 group).
A few thousand miles later, it's as good as the day it was installed.
Did the same thing on another bike. Truvativ crank, started wobbling, replaced with Shimano R600, no more wobble.
If I got a bike with SRAM and its crank started misbehaving, I'd immediately throw a Shimano crank on it.
