I have a hard time believing that 105 will wear significantly faster
at a cost-affecting rate at ~2K miles/year. Certainly the comparison
with the sorts of components on a cheap, '70s or '80s 10 speed is
inapt. (At least, the 105 that I am familiar with which is the stuff

With all due respect, Jan, that is a highly dubious assertion that 105
cranks will cost less per mile than Ultegra cranks. The MSRP difference in
the crank is $100 ($360 for Ultegra and $260 for 105), If you assume the
chainrings to be the primary wear item, you could buy the 105 crank and
For those who are using Sugino cranks: I've been using the Surly steel
