  • 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?

  • what Ed said. Around half (?) your gears will overlap, and the two rings at the front are used to keep a good chainline.
