52t front crank?

I really like the setup I have right now so I'm tempted to leave things as they are for now, or at least until the chain starts slipping.

I run 68", it's a good enough number for most things: 30mph on the flat and decent up Snake Pass.

Agreed, I cranked it up from nowt to 26.5mph in 10 seconds yesterday, 5 seconds later I had hit 30mph.

There was quite a tailwind though

I've got this sorted now. A local CCer sold me a Stronglight crankset and I just ordered some chainring bolts from Charlie The Bikemonger.

Just gotta get my head around switching out the crankset now

Situation resolved, partly due to Scilly Suffolk borking his frame
