Mountain Bike Chainrings
How much easier is it to ride a traditional crank 53-39 vs. a compact with 50-34 chainrings? Worth switching?
I would like to climb mountains with my road bike, and I switched the rear cassette from a 12-25 to 12-27, but still struggling. I just want to know how much easier it would be to use the 34 chainring vs. the 39 in the front. Thanks in advance for your responses.
Well, yes, it’s worth switching and you will see an immediate improvement in your climbing with the 34/27 vs. the 39/27, so, yes, go for it, it’s worth it!!
