Bought these to replace Dura Ace 7800 when I went to shorter cranks. Nice crankset for the price. The 4-arm layout means needing specific chainrings. Choices are limited, but the biggest issue is Shimano does not offer the 36/46 combo in 105, only in Ultegra. The bolt pattern is the same, but the shape of the rings where they mate with the crankarms is not. They will fit and bolt on securely, but there will be gaps between the rings and the crankarms. And replacement 4-arm chainrings are absurdly expensive. It's more cost effective to just buy a new crank. Shimano, wake up and make 36/46 rings for 105!
Needed a shorter crank length to speed recovery from a bi-lateral knee replacement. This product is excellent in performance and price point. The shorter crank length enabled the rider to do full rotations sooner, and more comfortably. In addition moved from flat pedals to cleats much sooner than anticipated with 2 new knees.
Back to full training, for our 6-8 week adventures criss-crossing Europe.
Ordered bicycle in 2019 with 170mm cranks due to info. about older riders and knee issues. I have no knee issues but legs that call for 175mm. Older 80's bike has 175mm cranks and other than the 6-cog range limit, actually felt slightly better especially on long rides. Found 175mm cranks only with no chain rings, ordering from China, but for the price, thought it would be better to get a set of standard chain rings- had compact and then semi-compact, this would give me all three sets of normal chain rings. I put this off for quite some time as I could imagine a 5mm change would be that significant. Not sure if it is all in my mind or not, but the 175 mm seems to provide a fuller stroke and allow for normal cadence to produce a few mph higher steady speed with the same effort. Very happy with this crank set just as it is- wish I hadn't waited so long.
it fits and look very nice, very smooth at pedaling and helps me get very cadence.
Nothing fancy about a Shimano 105 crankset. The R7000 series looks great. It might not be the lightest, but still has crisp shifting. The biggest think going for the 105 is the value. I got this for a TT bike and paired it with a Stages 105 power meter. That's a nice combo for the money and it looks PRO!
Swapped out an old crank from my original groupset. I bought an adapter to fit the Shimano 105 line for my BB30 bottom bracket. Works great, definitely lighter, looks fast and chain travels very smoothly.
Nothing to complain about. Great crankset.
I wanted to go faster. It has 53t I was looking for
You really cant go wrong with 105 groupset. Ultegra may be a little lighter but in the end its the rider not the groupset. Save a couple of bucks and go for it.
Great for any distance over all terrain types. Does everything the higher-end models do for a fraction of the cost.
Had to change crank arm length due to TKR. New crank set working well!
Been building bikes for many years and I always favored Ultegra until recently. The new 105 series components are outstanding and if weight is not a critical factor in the decision this is the best deal period. I am so impressed with the price/ value on this product. You can't go wrong.
I use and abuse my bikes, I race them and I train on them. I love top of the line equipment like any other person, but the weight difference between the 105 and Dura-ace crank sets is so negligible. Beside I have recently changed my crank length and needed shorter cranks, there was no way I was buying 4 Dura-ace cranks
The r7000 105 crankset was easy to install. I built a road bike with r7000 105. Bought all the components from bike tire direct. Decided upon the crankset to finish off the build. Performance of cranks set is smooth during shifting. Durable and efficient.
It's just a few grams heavier than it's (significantly) more expensive elder siblings
This is a solid, well made crankset. Shifting is smooth and precise. Not quite as light as Ultegra but more affordable. If you're looking for a quality crankset that won't drain your checking account this is the one.
best price on the www! It comes in OEM packaging and as described. Free shipping! Can't beat that anywhere else!
Very smooth shifting. Not quite as light as Ultegra but a much better value if you don't want to shell out big bucks.
I needed a 165 crank and this fit the bill...Lots of trickle down tech from ultegra and dura ace.
I removed the chain rings and replaced with narrow wide 46 tooth for a 1x system. Make sure
you toque crank arm bolts to spec.
The 105 crankset is an awesome crankset that works flawlessly and delivers great performance.
