My sweet Epesi (Specialized Allez Comp 18) returned from CA with her new crankset.
She had the stock Ultegra 53/39 front with a 9sp 12-27 cassette. I didn't want to go triple, but I wanted a lower "granny" gear for the hills.
Chris at Robinson Wheelworks (can't remember the town... Dita?) made some great suggestions based on my current and goal riding style plus keeping it USCF legal so I can race if I choose to.
We ended up agreeing on the following:
- kept my existing Ultegra cassette
- installed an FSA compact 50/34 with compact compatible derailler
I lose 1 top end gear, but gained 2 low end gears.
