See the crank here: http://www.whiteind.com/cranks/roadcranks.html
It's even Silver and square taper, although the chainring appears to be black.

Sure I could put a guard on the outer position, but I don't like the
way they look and there's really no need for one given that I'm on the
road most of the time. Over shifting isn't an issue and the double
configuration makes the gearing so much simpler. On a 42t ring I can
ride 95% of any terrai
I can't think of any reason why the 46 shouldn't work. You will get
better shifting if you reposition the front derailleur down to about
0.5 mm above the 46. If the gearing works for you, go for it.
As to the part of this discussion that has turned to cranks and other
gear choices... I think

But really, why get rid of the outside position? I would put a rock
guard/bash ring on there. Seems a much better options than straight doing
away with the ring.

You have to be a little carefull shifting and use a friction front as
no indexing will work with that. However, there are some steep hills
up bad roads in Southern China where I live and a little lower gear is
a good thing. I also like he 38 tooth chain wheel better th

Yeah, but your small cog was 13 at best, giving you a 108-inch big

Back in the day our standard setup was 52/50 unless we were going

I use 46/30 on the bikes I ride the most and it's the bees knees!
Two cranks with 50.4 bcd and one 94 bcd, with
12-28 8sp cassettes.
I use the entire range and have never wished for a lower gear (at
least on the road) and only rarely wish for higher.

It seems a 94 BCD crank would serve many people better these days.
Rings from 30t to 50t are available. Again . . .the surge of 29ers
may make more available again. Sugino used to make 94/58 triples when
they were in vogue. . . but like many manufacturers once Shimano
ditched it. . .everyone
It's weird to feel that 50t is big considering for years I rode a bike
with a double that was 53/39 but it just does. I'm not so concerned
with chasing people down. Sure, I get a bit spun out on descents but
I'm fine with that. I'm able to go more than fast enough. I just
ordered a 46. Worse that
You will be surpised at how little you need a 50, or even a 46. I am
running two bikes with a 28/42 ultra compact double up front, with an
11-34 cassette in the back. While this combo may sound wierd, it
gives a completely usable range of gears from 22 to 100 inches. The
bikes in question are a
I use an XD double with 46/34 tooth rings and an old Sun Tour Cyclone
front dérailleur (with a 107 mm BB) on my Ramb and it shifts very
well.

A while back, I pondered the gearing question, especially the 50T big ring. I
eventually switched over to a 46T to see how that went. I HATED it. I felt like

With the popularity of 29ers, were seeing a start of some 110/74
doubles. The are essentially a refined 110/74 triple just made so
you cannot put an outer ring on them. It's just as easy to not put a
outer ring on your triple and you at least have an option to go back.
Here's some from Rotor .
Thanks for the input. I totally agree with both of the Steves, that
the gearing is baffling but that it's designed for racers. Still, I
think most folks would be pleasantly surprised at how well a 46 suits
their needs. My Hilsen has a triple that's like 46/36/26 and I love
the 46 outer.

34T is the smallest you can get on the 110mm bolt circle. The 50T,
typically coupled with an 11
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 tripl
The Rams pre-kitted at RBW came with a 48/36/26 Sugino triple. That's how mine
is, and 48 works great for me with a 12 - 27 rear setup (also the original
issue) To answer your question, yes a 46 compact (110 bcd) will work. See
deatiled tables at Harris Cyclery for chain wheels.
