Shimano chainset - urgent

shirley_basso

Looking for a Shimano 11 speed chainset as mine separated today mid ride.

Ideally want 52-36, 172.5cm arm length.

Preferably ultegra 6800, R8000 or Dura ace 9100.

Best deal I can come up with is spending £275+ at Merlin, to then use 300 loyalty points for a £20 discount code, eg.
https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-ultegra-r8000-chainset-11-speed-102855.html ~£200
https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-ultegra-cs-r8000-cassette-11-speed-102871.html several combos ~£55
https://www.merlincycles.com/kmc-x11-11-speed-chain-134074.html £25

So ~£259 with code

https://www.merlincycles.com/miche-primato-light-cassette-11-speed-228242.html has some intresting combos for £55

Or use 200 points for a £10 discount off a £150+ basket, just on the chainset

Don't have anything for you, but I'm running an 11 speed set up but still using my old 10 speed crankset with no issues. Might open up a few more options for you if desperate.

Thanks both.

I think if I'm being ultra cheap I can probably just buy a cheap 6800 drive side spider and swap rings.

For no good reason I want to upgrade, ideally to the newer shape. I think they're more reliable. 9100 is the dream and there's a few ending on eBay tomorrow.

Sometimes there are used ones on here or maybe someone has one in the parts bin.

Not a bad shout. Good to know the chainset itself is £200. A good benchmark.
