"Compact Double Crank" = "Touring Bike Crank"
This is the funniest thing to come along since oval chain rings were
"replaced" by super-duper round ones. Finally, some company had the smarts to give the average cycling joe the gearing he needs while wrapping it all in some "weight saving" mystique. http://www.yellowjersey.org/cranx3.html My '93 Cannondale touring bike came with a low-Q Ritchey triple with 50-42-30 rings. I run another Ritchey triple with 50-38-28 on my road bike with a 7-speed 12-23 cassette. Maybe we can now dig out our old Sugino triples and call them "vintage racing compact" Rob |
