View Full Version : 110bcd and 130bcd ? nismosr 10-20-2007, 08:07 AM what's the difference beside the obvious number - is there really an advantage between the 2 ? JCavilia 10-20-2007, 08:18 AM With 130, the smallest you can go is 38 teeth. If you want compact gearing, you need 110. In theory, the larger spider diameter on 130 makes for stiffer rings, but I don't think there's a measureable difference in reality. nismosr 10-20-2007, 08:19 AM so this is a wrong ad then ? Important Information: Model: Shimano Ultegra Compact 10 Speed FC-R600 Size: 172.5mm Chainrings: Shimano Ultegra BCD Is 130mm 34 x 50 TurboTurtle 10-20-2007, 08:20 AM what's the difference beside the obvious number - is there really an advantage between the 2 ? The 110mm BCD (now called a compact crankset) allows the use of smaller chain rings such as the popular 34/50 or 36/50. The smallest you can put on a 130BCD is 38 teeth. - TF TurboTurtle 10-20-2007, 08:23 AM so this is a wrong ad then ? Important Information: Model: Shimano Ultegra Compact 10 Speed FC-R600 Size: 172.5mm Chainrings: Shimano Ultegra BCD Is 130mm 34 x 50 Yes it is wrong. The FC-R600 is not an Ultegra. An Ultegra is 130. The 34/50 R600 is 110mm. - TF JCavilia 10-20-2007, 08:23 AM so this is a wrong ad then ? Important Information: Model: Shimano Ultegra Compact 10 Speed FC-R600 Size: 172.5mm Chainrings: Shimano Ultegra BCD Is 130mm 34 x 50 If it's really acompact with 34/50, it's 110. Dr_John 10-20-2007, 09:33 AM ... and the R600 is considered the 105 level compact. The R700 was the Ultegra level compact. nismosr 10-20-2007, 05:25 PM cool thank you - that was an auction from ebay ..jus wanna make sure I get the right one . THanks guys |
