Hello,
I'm looking to get a new compact crankset for my road bike and was wondering if I could run the new 11spd crankset with my current 10spd until I can afford to upgrade the cassette, chain and rear derailleur. Also any ideas or experience on the 50/34 vs. 52/36 Shimano offers either pro or con. It seems that the 11spd chain has the same internal width as the 10spd, but the side plates are thinner giving a narrower width. Seems like it would work with the 10 or 11 spd chain set up. I run 180mm cranks as I'm tall and live in a hilly area so the compact would help drag my old body up the hills sitting down...If anyone has some Shimano 7900 or 9000 180mm compacts they want to sell as most of you seem to be going shorter on your tri bikes give me a shout.
Thanks a bunch
