Shimano FC-9100 Dura-Ace Crankset 11 Spd 50x34t 172.5mm w/opkge

As always, the spider is great to look at. But like with any proprietary tech, Shimano's top-secret BCD may inspire a healthy dose of skepticism. Rest assured that Shimano has its reasons. With the Dura-Ace 9100 crankset, you can run anything from a 50-34 combo to a 55-42 just by swapping chainrings, chain, and repositioning your derailleur. No need for a spider swap or an entirely new set of crank arms. Effectively, this means your bike can be a TT missile one weekend, a hill climb champ the next, and versatile all-rounder for the time in between. If you’re a privateer racer, or a self-sponsored athlete, it makes a whole lot of sense.
