I have narrowed down my choices to the following two cranksets:
Power Torque CX11:
Uses "C.A.R.T." Cyclocross Advanced Racing Technology chainring treatment is meant to shed dirt, mud, and sand with ease to preserve drivetrain performance in abrasive conditions. I am assuming for road use this would be fine.
Pros: Cost $250, weight 634g.
Cons: Requires puller tool.
CHORUS 11 SPEED ULTRA TORQUE:
Pros: More modern design, does not require puller tool.
Cons: Higher cost $355, Higher weight 683g (but still lower than current Shimano 105 760g).
I will need new BB cups but it looks like I can use the same tool that I already have that fits Shimano.
I am leaning towards the PT because lower cost and weight, I think I like the look better too. Not sure if the Chorus is worth the extra $ unless maybe shifting would be better. I am not sure how much a puller tool would cost, maybe I can use the Over Torque puller that I already have. Thanks for any input.
