Wiggle have it at £267 +VAT

Should I snap this up before the price rises? It's not clear if it's a compact or semi (or full size) chainset, or the cassette it comes with though.

Any other thoughts. I'm not averse to 10 speed Ultegra too if it's similar money, and am unlikely to need the brakes as I'll probably go for Hy/Rd discs instead.

Seems to be the going rate, same price at Merlin for example

I would assume its compact but agree it isnt clear.

Stupid question but would a 10sp cassette with spacer on a fulcrum 3 simply be removed to allow a 11sp to fit?

I'm pretty sure it will. That's my plan anyway, so I hope it does.

Double check that. I thought that 11 speed Shimano required a different hub and re-dished rear wheel. Good price though.

It'll be hub dependant... My ck hubs did indeed require this (after a freehub body change)... My mavics from 2 or 3 years back didn't
