Anybody on here using a sub-compact crankset on a road bike? I was thinking probably something like 48/36
I have 48/34 on my road bike, and the smallest sprocket is a 12. Plenty big enough (106") at the top end unless you're actually trying to race down hills, and 34/27 is a pretty low (33") bottom gear without resort to big jumps through the mid range and a mid-cage dérailleur.
So much sense ! :)
