Hey folks, Rob over here. I am now in the market for a new Crankset. After I just bought my Mavics! Here's the story with my current set up: I have the TruVativ Elita GXP Compact 36/50 mated to a Truvativ Giga X Drive BB. The problem with it as pointed out to me as I brought my concern to two LBS There is some play in the bottom bracket. it wobbles. Not alot but it's there. It won't go away. It was regreased and torqued, and I was told it has been a common issue with this setup.
One LBS suggested to get a Shimano 105 setup Crankset (and cassette if I wanted). Now I am also planning on doing a big ride out in Colorado this summer. A light bulb went off in my lil ole head to upgrade to something that would help me out while in the mountains. SO I asked around on another forum with guys from Colorado. They suggest a 50/34 with a 12-27 Changeing everything out to a tripple is out of the question.
Do any of you folks have any experience with this gearing on your rides?
If I go with it what advantages will it give me as far as ridig out here in Orange county and the east coast?
