No longer needed: Shimano Ultegra 6800/8000 172.5mm LEFT crank only

[DCLane]

Wanted: a Shimano 6800 or 8000 left crank 172.5mm length. I've the right but need a left one.

Does anyone have one sat around they don't want?

 

[I like Skol]

What length? Presumably you don't want odd ones?

172.5mm - forgot to add that

Might be worth asking a local club - someone will have the left side spare from a power meter. I ride 175mm cranks unfortunately so can't help.

I've a 105 going spare, really doesnt make much difference 105, ultegra or dura ace. In fact i have a 105 5700 left 4iiii power meter crank paired with my R8000 right and groupset

I couldn't do that. I know mechanically it's fine but aesthetically

how often are you looking at the side view of your cranks whilst riding the bike 🤣

Mind you I love my 4iiii left power meter so much I’m sending the R8000 that came with the groupset to them to factory fit another

I have mismatched cranks on one bike. Not only are they from different Campagnolo groupsets, they are from different eras so they look VERY different, AND the left crank is 170 mm vs the 175 mm of the right!

It came about because I broke a left crank and had an old chainset in my spares box. My left leg is shorter than my right so I thought the 5 mm difference might help. I think it did, though I haven't applied the same principle to my other bikes.

Doesn't matter, I'd know it was wrong and it would eat away at me.

You would not like my Shimagnolo setup on one of my bikes then

Thanks for the offer but I'd like to match it. For now there's an old Ultegra 6600 on there which will do until I sort a matching replacement.

My turbo bike has Chorus, Ultegra and Sora, works surprisingly well together.
