Some people are going to moan and groan about this, but this gearing is appropriate for the vast majority of their customers. It makes sense that the smaller number of licensed racers who need a bigger gear must buy new chainrings, rather than the average customer that's their bread and butter.Not only that, the hard-core users who want/need a 52/36 are liable to shelve the o.e. crankset for their favorite power-meter crankset, anyway, regardless of what the original ring tooth counts are.
