I ride compact. Sod the tradition of having larger rings, compact is lighter, generally stiffer and unless you're a really bad cyclist it's not difficult to achieve a decent speed through high cadence.
On a different note, I'm currently canvassing opinions on road pedal systems.
I've got a bit of a knee problem so Ideally I'm looking for something which has some float but not too much. For reference I currently use time atacs as I know that I get on with them but it's time to find something more suitable for the road bike. What're you using and why?
