Thanks for all the ideas. I have considered a white industries before. I have considered a Rene here, also. Don’t think I’m willing to spend so much, however, because I imagine it would not only be the cranks, but the bottom bracket as well, no? I think a 42 large ring and something like 26 small ring would be ideal. Main thing is, I like to be able to use the big ring for most of my riding (and be able to access the 32 cog with it without cross-chaining). I drop down to the small ring only for the steep climbs.
As it is now, I can’t get into my 44x32 without cross-chaining. I’m using Grant’s Shimano Altus derailed, BTW. > On Nov 25, 2019, at 2:16 AM, Garth <garth...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > What you're looking for then would be a wide compact double which are > designed for road bikes with their straight-er arms mid 140's q., One with a > 94 bcd like the IRD wide compact crank would suit you.

Yes, that would be a 34/38 crank as you said you wanted a 38 large > ring. Having closely spaced rings works better than it sounds. > > I've seen both of these here for informational purposes : > https://www.bikehighway.com/cranksets.html#product_list_limit=90 > <https://www.bikehighway.com/cranksets.html#product_list_limit=90> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google > Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rbw-owners-bunch/YXcKNTpdKtE/unsubscribe > <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rbw-owners-bunch/YXcKNTpdKtE/unsubscribe>. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > <mailto:rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com>. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/rbw-owners-bunch/cd5c42f4-a493-4682-86d3-b2a3ef324634%40googlegroups.com > > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/rbw-owners-bunch/cd5c42f4-a493-4682-86d3-b2a3ef324634%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
