Is anybody using the Easton EC90 SL crank with a Shimano road front derailleur? My current crank (FSA) has a stated chainline of 43,5 mm (says Google), Easton EC90SL: 45 mm (says Google) My current Shimano FD-R7000-F specs say: 43.5mm chainline as well... Would this cause problems when installing the Easton cranks?

Actually I think the difference is so small it wouldn't be a problem. But if you could find a 1.5mm front derailleur shim, that could offset any existing differences, or 1mm...

I have used the Easton EC90 SL crank with Ultegra 6800 FD and also with Ultegra R8050 Di2 FD. You did not state what chainrings you plan to use but as a reference I am using the Easton Cinch Gravel chainrings. I have had zero issues. Works perfectly with both FD's.
New to this forum, hello! I was just told by my bike builder that I cannot have Easton EC90SL crankset with di2 because the bottom bracket is so large that there is a problem with running the wires. My husband suggested that we simply remove the BB shell and be sure to protect the wires well. Builder said he cannot do because it will void warranty. So, "stuck" with Shimano 54/30 at least for now.
I was just curious if the people who used di2 with Easton EC90SL removed the sleeve on the BB. And if there were any problems at all.
