Ultega 9 speed groupset with truativ crank
Hi,
Im currently looking at a 2nd hand bianchi SL3 Aku Carbon reparto course bike which has ultega 9 speed groupset with a truativ carbon crank.
I have 2 questions really.
1) Is the ultegra 9 speed groupset and truativ carbon crank a good/happy combination that works well together??
2) Is it easy to convert to 10 speed later on if i wanted? i.e would i just need a 10 speed cassette or would the gear selectors need changing as well?
Many thanks

Ultegra 9 speed is a fine groupset, and I can think of no reason why you should have problems with a Truvativ crank. To be honest the crank is pretty immaterial, if properly set up it's going to work with any chainset - even Campagnolo!
To convert to 10 speed, you need to change cassette, chain and shifters, nothing else.0 -
What sort of price do you think a 2nd hand bike with this spec should be worth?
