Hi

Just upgraded bike to Bianchi Sempre Pro with Veloce groupset and Centaur Crankset. I've got a one year old Athena groupset on my Via Nirone 7 and I'm planning to swap the groupsets over as the Sempre Pro deserves better.

Couple of points

1. anyone have experience of removing a power torque crankset? I've seen the Park Tools video and wondering if I need to buy the tools or if it can be done using less expensive alternatives?

2. anyone any knowledge of whether the Sempre Pro has internal guide channels for the cables?

Thanks in advance. Plan will be to change over as the nicer weather approaches. Meantime the new steed will stay safe and warm inside.

    In answer to Q1 Suggest you take to LBS as if you do not have the correct tools you will make a mess of your crankset trying to get the bearing off. They are a PITA to do

    Thanks. Good excuse for a coffee and a chat as well. Probably cheaper than the Park Tool and associated items.
