Ordering a groupset

[Tin Pot]

Distinguish 2.5mm, roughly 1.5% difference in crank lengths with your feet, go on, try it! Blindfold! On YouTube!

Even if there is a difference you will compensate for it by choosing another gear.

I'm peddling 175 cranks.

Anyone want to buy them?

You need to pedal with a lower cadence Brian - oh, sorry, wrong forum....

Someone has commented saying 170's and a compact??? Are you a midget or something?

Have I made a mistake in what I bought my height is 5.9-5.10?

Thanks

I'd be interested to know what supplier you're using - those prices look pretty hard to beat

Have you pedalled the cranks you're peddling?

Looks like Ribbles spec,Im looking at their bike builder on one of their frames and similar 105 package on there

One of the best value group sets I've ever used. Changed from Sora STi to the 5800 the difference is delightful.

I had 105 on my cube and now have Sora on another bike,the difference is far superior in my opinion,105 worked a treat,smooth shifting just felt great changing gears and pedalling away,made a mistake selling my Cube but the new bike I'm getting is getting the new 105 back on it .

Is the full 105 groupset coming up at £6.48 in your basket too? I can't seem to get it to do that for me...
