Shimano Ultegra FC-R8000 Crankset

Bought to replace an Easton EA90 crankset. More than just reliable, outstanding shifting, excellent weight for a non carbon or Ti crankset, and plenty stiff for acceleration and or when gradient goes up. Easy to service and install. It checks all the boxes and then some, you can�t go wrong given it�s price point and trickle down tech from Dura Ace!

Swapped out of a SRAM set that came with the frame cause I love the weight and performance of the Ultegra bits!

The parts ordered arrived ready to install. Ultegra components are top qualify as we know. The upgrade was performed swiftly and the result meet my expectations.

Gettin older sucks. Ultegra 52X36, 172.5mm is FANTASTIC !

I searched for this part all over, no one had it in stock. WesternBike not only had it in stock, but at the lowest price.

Besides being affordable, shipping was fast. I purchased this item in size 3236t, which I couldn't find anywhere for this price, not even on eBay.

My bike is actually faster after this upgrade. Went from 10 speed 105 to ultegra R8000. Crank was 5043 replaced with ultegra 5236. Confirmed speed improvement with Garmin 1000 also purchased from western bikeworks

Pretty sweet crankset if you race cyclocross. This is my second crankset of this size, I put it on a road bike that I built for my coming tour that involves a lot of climbing. Shimano only made this teeth count combination for Ultegra, but the rest of the group is DuraAce. So far, it perform exceptionally, crisp gear switching and lightweight. The new version (R8000) is good looking too.

I have always had great performance from Shimano produces and this is no exception.

Wanted to upgrade my crankset on my Roubaix to a semi-compact. Felt the difference on my first ride out compared to the factory FSR crank it came with. The price was too good to pass!

I love Shimano Ultegra because they last longer and are high quality products at a great price.

This crank if it's like my last Ultegra crank last me for many years and for 30,000 - 40,000 miles of riding.

It provides great shifting with little problems over it's lifetime.

Thanks again for the staff who helped me selecting the right components for the upgrade.

Great product. Light weight, looks good, and performs as expected

upgraded to the Ultegra crankset, it's worth every penny. installation was "plug & play" without any issues. replaced old FSA set without having to get adapter or BB. enjoy every ride so far. Thanks.

My Ultegra drivetrain was failing me after years of service, and my $5k Madone was riding like ****. Replaced the crankset, chain and casette for a couple hundred, and now it's riding like a million bucks again. Only wish I had done this sooner.

I upgraded from a really beat-up FC-6800. Cosmetically this looks great and functionally it works just like I would expect. Easy installation and very solid components. I will be using this for gravel, road, and cyclocross. The road compact 50/34 is a good option for being able to keep my cadence on flat road as well as have a 1:1 climbing ratio when paired with an 11-34 cassette.

Ultegra works great and is a great value

Solid shifting, nearly as stiff and light as Dura Ace for 40% $ less.

Currently at the end of a 6 week stay at Park City, Utah. Purchased this compact crankset to replace my 9100 Dura Ace South Florida flatland 5339 crankset for my trip to Park City. Has worked flawlessly with my DI2 Dura Ace groupset. Frankly tongue in cheek has done much better than me dealing with the 7000 feet altitude. For the money you just cannot beat it.

Product is phenomenal. The 165mm cranks suites me perfectly since I a am a short rider.
