Where would the Fsa gossamer crankset on the below bike sit in comparison to the shimano range?

    Would that align with 105 or better/worse (if it's possible to compare)

    I would say 5700 105, which is pretty much what FC-RS500 is.

    Edit^ Agree, though the 5750 105 50/34T (805g) may be a tad lighter, the weight for the RS500 50/34T (893g).

    CHeck that FSA have solved the issue with the non drive side crank arm coming loose and falling off mid ride if you don't notice it in time. I ride with two others using the FSA Gossamer crank set who have had it happen to them despite all the torque settings being correct.

    There must be damage to chaninset for that to happen. I doubt it is the chainsets fault.

    The chain sets were brand new on brand new bikes. Do a search and you will find numerous posts from people experiencing similar. FSA put out something along the lines of using thread lock to secure the left crank arm.

    I"ve got a nigh on perfect condition Gossamer crank with BB in the workshop for sale if you want it.

    I think the OP was asking because the Orbea bike he linked to has mainly 105 5800 apart from the FSA Gossamer chainset.
