been laboring between a standard and compact crankset and have maybe found a nice middle ground in the compact crankset with 52/36T chainrings. Anyone have experience with this set up? I'm either going campy compact or campy standard. Dot Bike has a huge selection of chainrings for the 110 bcd. Oh, ramps and pins, how much do these really help? Or better, how much of their benefit is percetable? Most of these replacement rings don't have the ramps and pins.
My concerns are the usual, I see the benefits of both. But as I like to climb a lot and would love some good low end. Yet, I also love mashing my current 11t cog downhill. So, I want something more all around.
My research has pulled up some sparse info mainly that shifting is dicey between with the 16 teeth jump. I want shifting to be precise, but I don't mind if its a little slower as I don't race. So I could deal with a slower shift, as long as its on point.
advice, experiences, thoughts?
