Recommended Posts

Anyone got any feedback or suggestions on Compact Cranks? Good vs Bad?Do you need a different derailleur for a Compact set-up or is it a case of just changing the crankset?

I think they are wonderful - would never consider a 53/39 again.

And you can keep your derailleur

Your gear ratios are much closer, and your biggest gear (50 - 11) is slightly bigger than a 53-12. And it weighs less.
