    I'm still in 10 speed mode, 12-25 cassette with 53/39 up front. I normally just stick to the big ring slightly too high up the block because I find the cadences when using the inner ring slightly off or just out of rhythm. If that makes sense? I have run with a 50/34 compact before but found the 34 ring useless as it was far too spinny.
    My cranks are force 22 so could I change the rings 51/37? If those rings even exist I imagine they're expensive. Or new cassette, Sram so not too expensive.

  • Not really. Are you just uncomfortable at high cadence? Do some cadence drills and go on regular easy, spinny, hilly rides (seated) and sort your pedal stroke out? #armchaircoach

    I don't think they exist. Fit a 50 and 38t perhaps. That's actually a really nice combo IMO.

  • May actually do that, 50/38 does sound good. It's weird, I spin much better fixed than on the roadie. I guess momentum helps smooth the pedal stroke when fixed. On the road bike I feel better when pushing a bigger gear. Probably just need more time to sort my circles out.
