Re: Crankset 172.5/175mm, 11 speed shifters
I’ve got a rotor 175 chainset 24mm, so will fit shimano. Has slightly different crank arms and 50/34 rings.
Also have a praxis chainset 175 from a Specialized, which will need a 30mm bb I think.

Re: Solihull No Frills 2/3/4
I can only do one of them now and there is online entry, so don’t bank on there been any spaces on the line.
Like Tim says, keep near the front, hold your line in the corners and if it’s quick then move up fast as there aren’t many places to change position if the tempo is high.

It usually means the 3rd catch the 4ths, kind of stays together then a sprint at...
