Can anyone tell me if it is okay to use an Ultegra 6600 left hand crank on an Ultegra 6700 drive side. If they are both the same length would there be any problems?
I am assuming that a 600 and a 6700 or 6750 bb are interchangable.

    If the crank arm fits onto the BB spindle properly (and is firmly attached), then I think it should be fine.
    ?How would it know what's on the other end of the spindle?

    think your find triple shimano external bearing chainsets use a spacer...just make sure you dont fit it !

    Not sure about triples. This is a double. Thanks.
    Anyone know where you can get a replacement left crank if it doesn't work?

    Interchangeable - I rode with a 165/170 combo for a while whilst waiting for a replacement - didn't really notice
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
