Shimano Ultegra SL Triple Chainset including English threaded BB Cups
Ultegra SL, noticeably visually different to the standard Ultegra and invisibly Technically different. Ice grey in colour and Super Light in nature, SL is here!The most visible change comes with the colour of the crankset, but whats not immediately apparant is the weight loss and performance gain. The performance improvement is largely due to the lighter, stiffer, machined steel bottom bracket spindle. The weight saved with the SL crankset is 35g over standard Ultegra, the SL is also fitted with aluminium chain ring bolts, ala Dura-Ace, to further emphasize its aim at the performance end of the market. Chainrings are ramped and pinned for optimum shifting under load and provide smooth and precise shifting.Weight is down to under 900g including the bottom bracket.
Your chainset must fit onto your bottom bracket! There are currently four chainset/bottom bracket interfaces that you're likely to come across. If your bottom bracket is made by Shimano and it has splines, then you need an Octalink chainset. If your b/b is NOT made by Shimano and it has splines, it's almost certainly ISIS. There are a very few non-Shimano chainsets with Shimano Octalink interfaces so, to be sure, count the splines - ISIS has 9, Octalink has (surprise, surprise) 8. No matter which brand of b/b you have, if it has a square interface, it will require a traditional square taper chainset. If you have one of the new Hollowtech II systems, you will need to choose the exact chainset that matches your bottom bracket. Most MTB chainsets are now 9-speed compatible but these will work with an 8-speed system.
