I'm literally never out of my compact ring (34t) on my crosscheck... I have a road cassette (28-11) and am contemplating just getting rid of the big ring all together.
I can only envisage running into issues on big alpine descents, I can keep good speed on the flats no problem in the little ring, what do you more seasoned tourers make of it?
