I like my 53/42/30 Campagnolo triple paired with a 13-29 or a 14-28 best.
Why?
- It offers a decently wide range with usable highs and low-enough
Agreed about cross-chaining, which I always understood as big-big on anything
and small-small on a triple. I've always used the full cassette with the middle
position ring on doubles and triples, and now that's often the only option
because I've been riding 1x bikes. I wouldn't worry about it as
John,
If you think that 26/42 rings and an 11-32 cassette will give you what you
want, and you can pay for it, I'd suggest you splurge on the White or RH
crank set.
RH and White cranks (except the m30 variants) go on "normal" square taper
bottom brackets so you probably wouldn't "need" a new o

FYI, “cross chaining” on a road double isn’t as big of a deal as doing it on a
triple. As long as your chain line is good, you won’t have issues.

I agree with 42-26 being a pretty ideal setup for a bike like this. That's
what I just switched to on my Rene Herse cranks, from 46-30. The latter is
OK but as you say, I found myself needing to drop from big to small ring
more often than I'd like. With the 42, I can get up most hills in the bi
In that case a Sugino 601D complact plus crankset would also work. It's
a 2 ring super compact road crank designed with a 74 and 110 mid/big ring,
it has no provision for an outer ring. It doesn't use a square taper BB
though, but it is included.

Thanks for the thoughts.
I had thought of trying the Always pedals. They are significantly smaller than
my VP Vice, but honestly, I don’t seem to need a super wide platform for my
foot. I have size 10, not wide feet. More important than size of the pedal, I
think, is that it match my foot.

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 smal

I've run 1x drivetrains on two Rivendells, but not a Roadini. Both of them
were a 42-tooth chainring and an 11-32 cassette.

Is anyone running a 1x11 on a roadini? Thinking of building one for some

If you can handle the additional cost, the low Q-factor, endless chainring
size options, and beautiful craftsmanship of the Rene Herse / Compass

I guess my favorite would be
Rene Herse crankset, 46/30
Dura Ace 7900 front and rear ders
Dura Ace barcon shifters, friction front, index rear
Dura Ace 12-27 10 speed cassette
This is on my Roadeo. I have a similar 2x10 drivetrain on my brevet bike,
but that bike has Dura Ace DT Shifters, 42/2
Yes. They have to pre-order frames WAY in advance, and they have to
pre-pay for all of them before they ship. Their decisions on quantities
were probably made 4 months ago. The ordering quantum with their Taiwan
vendor has traditionally been $30,000. They normally order $30,000 worth

Edwin, it's a pre-order price. I'm sure you can pay full pop for all the frames

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. It comes with
rings however, so you'll have to get another large ring.
