Shimano 105 Chainset
Lightweight HollowTech II 10-speed chainset
- Shimano HollowTech forged, anodised hollow aluminium crank arms are efficiently and rigid despite their light weight.
- The chainring teeth have been developed to work in conjunction with the CN-5701 chain for increased contact to provide greater efficiency and improved power transfer.
- The HollowTech II design spaces the bottom bracket bearings wider apart (outboard from the frame), enabling the use of larger bearings for longevity and an increased axle diameter for durability.
- Integrated 2-piece design enables easier installation, adjustment, and maintenance.
- Not supplied with bottom bracket.
- Lightweight anodised Shimano SG-X aluminium chainrings deliver smooth and precise shifting.
- Designed for use with ST-5700, ST-6700 or ST-7900 shifters.
- The Shimano FC-5700 chainset has 39/52 rings (780g in 172.5mm length).
- The Shimano FC-5750 chainset has 34/50 rings (735g in 172.5mm length).
Shimano 105
'After a good month of treating the new version of 105 to numerous ill-timed, mid-incline gear dumping and frantic braking, we can't recommend it highly enough. Systematically doing what we asked it to do with the minimum amount of fuss, or issue, and with its new improved looks, unless you're racing every weekend or absolutely made of money you'd be criminally insane to even consider overlooking Shimano's 105 in favour of Ultegra.'
