Hi, currently i have a 52-36 R8000 chainset on my Trinity. I've started doing our weekly TT series and was wondering which outer ring would work the best specifically for these 10mile TT races.
Correct me if I'm wrong but by my understanding, ideally I should be in the middle of the block at 27mph which is what I can manage to hit as an avarage for the course. Is this a logical approach to take in deciding which ring to buy or are there any other considerations I should be making? The courses they run aren't totally flat but definitely they're not to be described as hilly either so speed isn't a constant but no massive variations either.
I run a 28-11 cassette so which ring do you think would suit me the best? Does anyone have any recommendations of what I'd need to make the setup work? I wasn't really thinking of changing the complete chainset as I have a matching crank arm power meter although down the line I may sell it if I go down the road of switching from 170mm to shorter cranks.
TIA.
