Hello,
I was at the Slowtwitch Road Show in Dallas this past weekend and listened to John's presentation on using shorter cranks. In the presentation he was talking about cadence increasing with shorter cranks and that a person might need to move to a larger chain ring to make things feel right. He mentioned possibly a 53 to 55 big ring. I'm ready to buy a new crank with 150mm arms but trying to decide if I should go 110 BCD as I would normally run a 52/36 set (at 170mm arms) or should I go 130 BCD with a 53/39.
Any of you have experience with this? Interested to hear experience with shorter arms and chain ring choice.
Thank You,
Ron
