Hi everyone,
N00b question on road doubles. So common chainring combos are 53/39, 52/38, 50/34 and 'cyclocross' 46/36. Some manufacturers would also use 48/34 (came stock on my AWOL for example). Here's the question - what defines which combo can or cannot be used? I'm thinking of using double with 34/32 inner and would like to understand if 46/44/42 can be used as an outer?
Thanks
