Hi All,
Finally got my new CX frame, a Kinesis Pro6 kit and now starts the painful job of buying the components.
What I would like to know is, I have decided on a FSA compact crank with 34/50 rings. My qustion is, could I run a Shimano XT 10 speed cassette 34/11 with XT rear mech with the crank and with Shimano 105 STi's, all would be 10 speed stuff, but is this normal behavour? My mate who is into CX has told me to buy a 29/11 cassette, but the 34/11 or possibly a 36/11 cassette would give me a better range for the steep Yorkshire hills.
Thanks.
