It baffles me that compact double cranksets usually come as 50/36 or
maybe 48/34; maybe this is a limitation of typical 110BCD bolt
diameter. In any case, a 50 or 48 outer ring is still pretty hard to
turn, and 36 is not low enough for my taste. For those, like myself,
that just don't like triple cranks and like low gears instead of high
ones, this can be an annoyance. I find that a 50 ring is kind of
useless because I don't ever need that many gear inches.
I ended up getting a TA Pro 5 Vis crankset and I'm really pleased with
it. It allows a huge range of chainrings (if you can find them). I
have mine set up as a 46/30 with a 9speed 13-30 cassette on my AHH.
It's perfect for 100% of my rides. It's so great that I'm putting a TA
46/30 with a 9 speed 12-27 on my new-to-me Rambouillet. The modern TA
Carmina and White Industries cranksets also allow a for wide range
compact setup, but both are also expensive. Boo! Wouldn't it be nice
if Sugino et al offered something like this at a more reasonable price?
