The Shimano 105 FC - R7000 11 - speed crankset is a great choice for road bikes. It strikes a perfect balance between weight and efficiency, all while maintaining excellent stiffness.

The Hollowtech crank arms are incredibly strong and rigid yet very light. The anodized silky black finish not only looks cool but also provides extra protection. It has a 43.5mm chainline and a 146mm Q - factor, along with a 110mm Asymmetrical BCD. This crankset is compatible with LinkGlide and HG 11 - speed chains. Technical specs include 50/34 chainrings, double chainring setup, 11 drivetrain speeds, compatibility with 130 hubs and 135/142 road disc hubs with chainstays over 415mm, black color, 172.5mm crank length, intended for road use, weight of 713g, no bottom bracket included, 9/16' pedal spindle, and Shimano Hollowtech II spindle interface.
Using your Shimano 105 FC - R7000 crankset is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your road bike. When you're riding, shift gears smoothly to get the most out of the 11 - speed drivetrain. Remember, this crankset is designed for road use, so avoid using it on rough terrains. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a mild soap and water to clean the crank arms and the spindle interface. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Check the chain regularly for proper tension and wear. If you notice any issues like strange noises or difficulty shifting, it might be time to take it to a professional bike mechanic. Also, since the bottom bracket is not included, make sure to choose a compatible one and install it correctly for optimal performance.
