Anybody on here using a sub-compact crankset on a road bike? I'm planning on getting a new bike, and am thinking about getting a sub-compact as I really can't be doing with trying to use anything more than a 48 tooth large ring as, frankly, I'm just not able to use it much in highest gears, and so anything more just seems superfluous to me. I was thinking probably something like 48/36 would be more than enough as In really encounter truly big hills and I tend to almost always stick in thelarge front ring anyway. Its either that or single front ring
