What is the benefit of a compact crankset?
The biggest benefit of a compact crankset is the ability for the system to afford lower gears for climbing, while still offering the required gearing for high speed riding in the flatlands. This is the number one benefit and is reputedly the main reason behind cyclists choosing to ride compact cranksets.
Is FSA compatible with SRAM?
Thus, cranks from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo are freely interchangeable along with those from all aftermarket brands (e.g. FSA, Rotor, Praxis, etc.). Thus, owners of 10-speed cranksets fitted with a power meter do not need to replace the chainrings if they upgrade to an 11-speed transmission.
What is the difference between a compact and standard chainset?
Compacts have a 50/34 gearing, so losing three teeth on the big ring and five teeth on the little ring compared to a standard. Standard cranksets have more gearing overlap, which can be preferred for racers so they have similar options in the middle of the cassette for both chainrings.
What is compact chainset?
Compact chainset A compact chainset has a 50-tooth outer chainring and a 34-tooth inner chainring. This means that the gears are lower (easier to turn, but they’ll progress you a shorter distance per pedal revolution) than you get with a 53/39 chainset (above) with the same cassette.
What is BB30 crank?
The BB30 bottom bracket shell is typically 68mm (road) or 73mm (mtb) wide with an inside diameter of 42mm. Originally the BB30 system was designed to use 30mm diameter crank spindles.

Which is the lightest FSA top end chainset?

Can a BB30 crankset be used on a regular bike?
The answer is quite simple – yes, they do. The bike we tested this crankset on was closely related to a bike we often use for testing duties and had nearly the same geometry as well. When ridden back-to-back, the bike fitted with the BB30 crankset had a noticeably different feel.
