I love my LBS! www.recycledcycles.com

Flossie had a double 48t-39t. Well, I'm a wimp on the hills and needed lower gears. Paul at Recycled Cycles kept an eye out for a set of cranks that would fit me (175mm) Flossie (square bolt) and a compact double set of rings (110 bcd) A set of Suntour XC Pros came in, and he grabbed them and called me.

The Suntour XCs came with 46t and 36t. He advised me to save my $$ and keep the 46t, change up to a 48t or 50t if I felt I needed it later. I got the smallest chainring that will fit for the inner, a Salsa 34t.

Paul also switched out the derailleur for one that would handle the jump smoother.

So now I have a 46t-34t compact double and was able to keep everything compatible with my Campy Athena and my 8 speed cogs and chain.

All for $49.01!!! (labor included)

(And once again, I got oohs and aaahs from people in the bike shop. She's so pretty!)

I need to take my LBS some beer!
