Heading towards Force 22 on my new-year bike. What is the current thinking in terms of gearing combinations. I'm torn between a compact crank with 11-25/6 or standard gearing with 11-28 on the back. I guess the latter is more flexible and I am looking to start racing next year. I'm not currently the best climber and like to spin up the hills. Finally wondering if standard crank will look ridiculous on a smaller bike (525 tt)
