  • Yeah it is personal pref obviously.I ran 11-28 52/36 before shifting to my current setup. I just felt smoother in general after switching.

  • I did think about suggesting a semi compact as it seems the best of both worlds, but as you say, the jump in shifting is the issue. I thought trad. doubles were dead but actually they're better.

    Do you have an extra long chain for a 53x32?

  • Medium cage. Have DA 9000 53/39 + 11/32 + 105 5800 medium mech on the road.

    I am contemplating a 48/38 or 48/36 11-32 setup on my upcoming cross bikes with 6800 medium rear mech instead of 42T NW 11-32T
