Upgrade suggestions for new chainset bb30?

skyeflyguy

Hi guys, I bought the new bike (Cannondale supersix 105) at a good price with the intention of doing a wee bit of upgrading. Ive added some ksyrium elites which look great, but was reading that the FSA Gossamer chainset it came with can be problematic as the bottom bracket wasn't too clever and a bit unreliable? Now I haven't been out on the new steed as yet what with the weather and other things and Ive thought of upgrading since there are a few good deals about, and maybe selling the old one for whatever I can get for it.
Any suggestions on what to get? I like the look of some of the Sram ones. I have a budget of around 200 quid.
Or has anyone got the FSA Gossamer pro and like it? Maybe Ive got too much time on my hands to read too many reveiws? Thanks in advance.

Garry.

SRAM red/black Chainsets were going for somewhere around £200 in BB30 and GXP

Thanks Bozman, I have seen them, and they do get good reviews. Do you use one yourself?

I've got the SRAM black/red in gxp and i can't fault it - light, stiff and the change is smooth and crisp combined with a KMC chain. I use an FSA SLK light BB30 on my other bike and that again is faultless, personally the SRAM chainsets seem a bargain compared to FSA when there's so little between them.

Thanks for the offer , but I'm pretty sure I will go for the Sram red.

Have you seen the FSA K-force light chainsets at CRC? Under £200, they've got 70% off.

Wow that looks great! Reviews that Ive looked at are good, and a cracking price. Any reason not to buy????

All I can say is that the Sram Red BB30 is a cracking Crank - rock solid I love it.
