I'm updating my crankset based on a fit and going shorter. I'm on a compact now and am with a 50/34 and 11-26 setup (172.5). I am NOT a spinner by any means, usually feeling most comfortable mid to low 80's cadence. It seems the shorter crank gets me able to ride more comfortably lower, but I would like some input as to gearing. I'm in Madison, so some pretty good hills and am older so not the leg strength of many of you. Any thoughts if I should stay with the compact and if so, which cassettes would be a good fit? I'm possibly changing out the entire drive train, so want to do it right. Opinions?
Thanks.
Thanks.
