The experiment is over. I fitted a 46 tooth outer ring so ended up with 46/34 x 12/23 gearing. This was definitely an improvement but I think I may just be too used to a cassette with more 2-tooth jumps between gears so couldn't gel with the straight block run from 12 through 19.
So.......from this weekend it will be a standard 130 mm BCD crank fitted with 50/38 rings and a 12/25 at the rear dérailleur. All of which means that for me I still don't see the point of using a compact crank in Bermuda for competitive riding.
For my next post I plan to cover a bike build I'll be doing for one of my favourite clients :)
