Hi all,
I have a Specialized Tarmac Comp with Shimano 5700 105 groupset, 11-28 rear cassette, and 39/53 chainset.
I really don't get on with it on hills as I like to spin at 90+rpm and I just can't do this at the moment. I know I should MTFU and just get on with it, but it's making me avoid hills altogether on rides which is stopping me from enjoying riding.
Sooo, what are my options for changing to a compact ?
If I get the compact version of the 5700 or the SRAM Rival chainset would I need to fit a shorter chain (or could I remove links from the one I have) ?
Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
Daniel.
