I want to put together a couple more wide-low doubles based on 110/74 triple cranks. The 44/28 I put together on a 130/74 triple shifts much better than I anticipated, even with unpinned/ramped chainrings.. So I was thinking maybe could go 18 teeth? Thinking 44/26. I run 11-34 in the back and right now I'm using the 28 purely as a bailout on grades in the teens. On anything less than 10% grade I just keep it in the 44 up front.
The main reason for doing this is cost savings, I have a few 26T 74bcd chainrings lying around that I could put to good use. Of course, when it comes time to bailout, lower is also better as well. We have an 18% grade right at the end of many of our brevets here. Just don't want to be slinging the chain off the top or the bottom. -- Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
