If I swap out my 50/34 compact crankset for a 53/39 one, will the 'gear indexing' (is this a real thing?) get fncked?
At the back, no, you'll have to move the front mech up 2-3mm to account for the bigger ring, and this will likely mean readjusting it.
Very straightforward, the only thing to really check is that your chain is long enough- if it was marginal before, it might be too short now.
