Full Dura Ace group work with SRAM Red cranks ?

I am likely going to change my crankset to 175mm from 172.5 as I am finding them a little short. Out of interest whilst the opp is there I might plop SRAM RED on again as I think its a little lighter and cheaper than Dura Ace. As such, is it straight forward? I assume I just need an Italian bottom bracket if I do go RED ? No other issues as such ?

Thanks in advance.

Pete.

    It should be fine. A SRAM BB with the Red cranks should be fine....but then you don't say what bike you have, so we can't advise on that... :wink:
