I'm in the process of upgrading components on my bike and am now turning to the cranks and cassette.
I'm currently running 50/34 and 12/25 but would like more at either end, especially for long downhill runs as I find I'm spinning out too easily.
My favoured route would be to go to 52/36 and 11/28, which will give me much more top end and a wee bit more for those steeper climbs. I've been on the Sheldon Brown gear chart page but, to be honest, all those numbers don't really mean much to me at this stage.
I appreciate that this will be way different to what I have just now but would appreciate any thoughts/comments you may have.
TIA.
