Campy Compatible Crankset

Yeah the ladies agree! Ok so I can use an Sram crankset. Thats great news!

BlueTree I'm confused. See I thought that after 08 they've started making FDs in CT and then normal sizes. I thought it was pre-o8 that had no designation....oh my this is what happens when a DuraAce bike becomes a Record bike and its owner is in totally new territory....There were some TE postings from a few years ago that I tried to research this FD CT issue on but all the links were broken because they were so old.

BTW, Bluetree, do you like the ceramic BB??

If it's 08, you shouldn't have to worry about the front der. (You will have to check the cage of the rear der, tho.) That said, my BF ran the same '07 CT FD with both standard and compact had no problems, regardless of what the literature said. Go figure. If I were you, I'd go with what I have. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, upgrade.
Just make sure to go with a Record chain/cassette and the SRAM rings will be humming perfectly in sync.

As for the ceramic BB, there is a noticeable difference in smoothness and IMHO worth the extra coin. Like bibs... after people take the plunge and try it, 90% of them will never go without again

Bluetree you're awesome

Thanks for being so so helpful!! As a bonus the SRAM crankset will be compatible if I move to DA in the future?

.. move to DA in the future?

Now why would anyone do that?!

My words exactly. You already have the best groupset with record....
