Black or Silver? Decisions decisions..

[cosmicbike]

Sooo, after todays ride I've decided I don't get on with the semi-compact chainset (36/52) on my new ride. I have 34/50 compacts on the rest of the fleet, with 11-32 cassettes. Therefore a new one is in order, but which colour? Current one is black, but I kind of think a silver one may look better....

What do we think?

Black looks nice when new and for a couple of weeks after that.

Silver

Silver.

Silver if you also change the seat post, wheels, RD and spacers (titanium). failing that - stick with black.

Feel your pain over the semi compact chainset. I was forever changing between the big and small ring on the one I had. Didn’t have the legs for it!

Silver, by the way.

All in good time, as things wear out, or as and when I win the lottery based on the price of titanium anything...

I thought I'd be ok, but TBH I never quite found the happy cog, and always felt I was cross-chaining to find the right cadence. I suppose I'd get used to it, but then I change between bikes through the week so it would be nice to have a 'standard'.

Either black or silver would look good.,

Black to continue the theme with forks, seat, etc.
