Silver or Black 5800 Chainset?

Both valid points. I was looking at the 52-36, A’s that’s what I bought. My mistake.

As for the £99 spend, they will surely be buying a new chain at the same time, so no biggie there.

£40 on a chain?

£30 on a chain and easily spend £9 on something that ultimately ends being Free and still be £3 better off.

So what is an acceptable price for you to spend on an 11 speed chain these days?

That said, I won’t wear one out for a very long time given my 11 Speed bike has done about 40 miles this year on a summer’s day and about 5 hours on a turbo

Have used SRAM in the past. Found them noisier than the Shimano, so switched. Can’t argue with a Dura Ace chain for £29.99, although been using Ultegra until now. At £27.99 for Ultegra, it’s DA all the way.

What do you people like silver or black? Am looking for a new crankset for my Canyon, at the moment I got the black and done about 7500 miles. I like the black and it cost about £90 and I can get a silver ones at £62 both 50/34. So what would you buy?

The silver one was £57 at Ribble yesterday, join the newsletter and get £5 off, £52 delivered.

Proper bargain.
