Hello,
My wife upgraded the components on her road bike and I’m interested in using them on my road bike. Her old components are dura ace FC 7950 including crank, bb, front/rear derailer, cassette, shifters, pretty much the whole deal.
I’d really like to convert my Trek to a compact double, as it is set up as a triple.
The first problem is that the crank arms are 160’s and I need longer.
Can I purchase just the arms (say 175’s) and utilize my other parts.
Does this project seem like it will work? Other hidden problems?
Thanks,
TC
