Crankset

Hi all,

I am considering opoting for a compact crankset after many years of 42/52 and 39/53 cranksets.

I am considering this as i am aiming to do the Fred Witton event and I think that this will give a better range of gears for the stiff pass climbs.

I have never ridden a compact and would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has been converted.

Comments appreciated

I just got a FSA Superlight with 38/52. Excellent. Comes with the ceramic bearings.
A 36/50 is good or 34/50 if you are doing really steep stuff but you'll need an 11 on the back.

Re: Crankset

I don't know if you NEED an 11. 50x12 is only a little slightly lower than 53x12 and higher than 53x13.

Having said that, I use my 53x12 quite a bit and sometimes spin out downhill. It all depends where you ride.
