K-Force light crankset under £200 on CRC

Apologies for what may be a stupid question, but this deal looks too good to pass up. I have a 2010 wilier mortirolo with a campag veloce groupset. Are any of these crankset options applicable to my bike and if so which one?

Many thanks in advance

I'm currently using 53/39 sram force crankset. Would this be classed as a worthy upgrade to what I've got already!
Pretty new to all this upgrading lark lol

Thanks for the reply Gabbo,looking at the different cranks Would this be what i need u think

Sorry its a 2010 Boardman carbon pro

Thanks thegreatdivide

The Kuota should have a 68mm bottom bracket so the Mega Exo compact 10-speed will fit.

Edit - I think they're all out of the 'chainsets' i.e. you get the Mega Exo bottom bracket included - they only have the crankset, so you'll need to buy a Mega Exo bottom bracket. Although I might be getting this mixed up... :?

This is the last one with compact rings btw

I know it's heavily discounted and all, but it's a still a rather meh looking FSA chainset. I've never liked the black rings with silver teeth look.

i currently have a felt road bike and am in the process of upgrading the groupset buying bits
and pieces as i see them discounted online. I was going to buy the ultegra 6700 compact
crankset for around £170.00.
Can any 1 tell me if this would be a better buy and which 1 would fit my felt if so??
thanks very much.

Chainsets are pretty much all the same... there is no significant difference between a 50 pounds one and a 500 pounds one, if not for the unnecessary use of fancy materials to reduce the weight by 100-200 grams, which is rather insignificant.
The FSA has ceramic bearings, which might be an upgrade if they are full zirconia ones, if they are simply silicon nitride balls, they are actually a downgrade from good stainless steel ones.
It is one of the very last bits of a bike I would bother to upgrade, as there is practically no advantage whatsoever in throwing money at it...

I'm a tart though! Though I don't wear Assos... or Castelli

Assos makes very decent clothing and clothing is one of the few areas where improvement has been real and tangible over the years, unlike in bicycle components, so generally speaking money spent on clothing is better spent than for components...

I bought the 175mm megaexo compact from them last week; titanium spindle and ceramic bb included for £180. 656g on my kitchen scales for the whole kit & caboodle - compared to 820g for the Energy crankset it replaced.
