five hundred bucks really isnt all that much money among modern cranks. an
equivalent dura ace or record would be 500 bucks or more.

For some reason I still prefer triples. On a long sustained climb in
the mountains I find I fatigue less easily if I spin at a certain
cadence and force. I also prefer something in the 38-40 tooth range
for most flatish riding. Coming down long gradual mountians a ring in
the 48-50 range gives me

Makes intuitive sense to me, but with my shortish 83PBH I should be

I'm running a 44/30 on a 94mm bolt circle with an 11-28 9 speed
cassette and it's spectacular. I can cruise easily at 20kph in the
middle of the cogset on the 30. I can cruise quickly at 20mph in the

spin that out on a decent
The only concern I would have with that combination is the lack of a
real low gear. There are climbs I do, especially on dirt roads, that
something like a 24-28 or 30 is far easier to maintain for a 30 min.
duration then would be a 30-28. On shorter climbs you can get out of
the saddle to help
The White Industry crank BB is $100 less, a 100 grams less, far more
versitle, better looking, and made in the USA to boot.

Mike,
I love my 50/30 setup on the 94bcd ritcheys, but there is a point on
some grades where I just hop off and push it up. I draw the line at
granny gears that keep me moving at or less than walking speed. The
only bummer I have had over the last year and a half is a bit of
deflection in my 50
The White Industry crank BB is $100 less:
True, sort of. $85 less if you choose a steel BB. $25 less of you
choose a Ti BB
The White Industry crank BB is a 100 grams less:
False. White Crank 665g. White Steel BB 226g. White Ti BB 165g. So
830g total or 891g total. That Sugino is 787g
Plus it comes in 180mm!!! I like the idea of a close ratio cassette,
and a wide range double. What's the largest spread a double-ring
front der will do?
Any body? Bueller? Bueller?

So, in terms of $ per lb., how far off is that from a brick of gold
buillion?

It is about 1/60th the price of gold.

To add insult to injury, they not only make them in 172.5mm (my size),
they also make them in the vastly underrated 167.5mm. There should be
a Clydesdale uprising to storm the gates of Sugino!

I don't mind the looks so much, but the price seems a little high. Is
there an advantage over a Campy 10s crankset, either Veloce or
Centaur, with PowerTorque? Like this: http://tinyurl.com/4logk38. And
about $300 cheaper. What am I missing? Low Q factor?

The cool thing about the 801 is that it has 74 BCD holes as far out as
where the inner chainring sits (I think):

Ah, I see. Well if one of those combinations makes sense for you and
you need to save some grams over the VO setup then I guess this makes
a certain kind of sense. For a light-ish road bike I'm pretty happy
with my 50-34 setup.
