I have a Dura ace FC7900 crankset and was wondering If I can use it on a bicycle with ultegra 11 speed group?
The crankset I have is this one: http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/shimano-dura-ace-crankset-fc-7900-53-39-170mm-31545
Thanks

The FC7900 crankset is from a 10 speed group.
Nobody's going to stop you from doing this and having it work -- Zinn has done it and claims that it works. Manufacturers will will say otherwise claiming weaker FD springs or very slightly different chainring spacing.
Since you already have the crankset, may as well put it in and try it if you want to use it.
Shimano says "No, it is not compatible". If you are using it personally, perhaps it would be worth trying, but it can't be sold as 11 speed compatible.
