Giant TCR chainset

[Part time cyclist]

Hi my Giant TCR 2 advanced came from the retailers with the shimano rs500 chainset and BB71-41 press fit bottom bracket is there any real benefit (apart from aesthetics) in upgrading to the ultegra chainset and BB91-41 bottom bracket

Nah.

none what so ever.
Once they have worn out, then look at replacing.

Got a TCR myself, that Ultegra chainset looks ugly to my eyes.
Doubt if you would notice the difference either.

I've got a tiagra BB and chainset on my focus, I've tried out simlar spec'd bikes woth 105/FSA chainsets and not noticed any real difference - can't wait for mine to need replacing because its ugly as sin though!
