DuraAce crank with Ultegra derailleurs

[SamIAm]

Does anyone know if you can use the DuraAce crankset with the balance of components being Ultegra? (All 10 speed stuff). I like to use 180's and they are not available in Ultegra.

Thanks

this is your lucky day--I have a very low mileage DA 180mm crank with rings and bottom bracket that you can buy for $225.

I think, I will take it. Will it work with the Ultegra stuff?

[Grant McLean]

yes

The crankset doesn't care what the derailleurs are and vice versa, provided they fit. Come down to it, the derailleurs interact with the chain, and the chain with the chain rings. The crankset is nothing more than a means to support and turn the chainrings.
