Thoughts on S-works Crankset
Moderator: robbosmans
Stiffness is marginal when it comes to crank arms. It's all about the chainrings. You can easily have the best of both worlds. Run native BB30 crankset with Shimano chainrings. Sometime in 2009 Shimano introduced proprietary chainrings design that will only fit Shimano cranksets. All you have to do is find Shimano 6650 chainrings, which will install on any BB30 crankset. Just google "Shimano Ultegra FC-6650" or pick up Praxis chainrings (~10 grams less) they are forged and just as stiff as Shimano http://www.praxiscycles.com/road-cyclocross

It seems that the new 2017 design is only available in 170, 172.5 and 175 ( so far anyway ).
A shame, as I would like to buy a set in 167.5 (down from my current 170), but cannot, so will have to look at 2nd hand sets, which are hard to find in shorter sizes.
