Remember, what gearing the pro ride on isn't comparable to what us mere mortal ride on.
50/34 is perfect, even 46/34* was plenty for me allowing a nice spread in the middle.
*Abet a tiny bit spinny in the Pyrenees I must admit.
Look like Canyon only offer the 52/36 now - got all the way to the check out without being offer a chance to change.
If I want compact, it'll have to be the Rose.
I've got a 50/34 + 12/28 on my CAAD 10, and I've used 34 + 28, on Ditchling Beacon and thats about it, but I've run out of gears on the top end a whole lot more.
