Crankset Opinions
I have two options, but I don't know the diffrerence between:
Truvativ Roleur Carbon Double - Integrated BB
FSA Pro Team Carbon - FSA Platinum BB
Which would be stiffer? Cost is not a determining factor.

The ISIS spindle and Shimano Octalink bottom bracket spindles are all 22mm in diameter. The new external bearing cranks w/integrated spindle are 24mm (at least the Shimano and FSA versions are). This increase in diameter should increase stiffness. Whether you will notice the stiffness increase is unknown...until you try that is.
