Crankset Replacement or Upgrade

Seweryn

Hi Guys,

I just got my first road bike and I noticed that I will need to replace the crank arms (they fitted 175mm into 54cm frame), as they are a bit too long for me.
The current crankset is FSA SL-K Light BB30 Carbon 53/39. I did not use the bike yet, so I can't comment on the crankset, but if you have a choice, would you replace it with something else and if so which crankset would you go with? The bike is a Cannondale SuperSix Rival 2010.

Thanks.

Do any of you have any experience with the Sram Red crankset? Some online reviews say that the outer chainring is to flexy, but independent tests show that it is actually quite stiff.
I will appreciate your opinion.

Take it back to the shop and get them to replace.
