To answer your question, my Sam came with a Sugino double 40-26, and what I
ended up with was 46-36-26 on a 110 BB with 11-34 cassette.
But regarding front cranks, you can always build your own.
You can still buy an XD2 compact crank, if you liked that, both the double
and the triple. Nashbar,
The Shimano MTB 1x11 system that came on my protoGus is ugly (the shifter
is an aircraft carrier strapped to the handlebars wherever they happen to
fit and be accessible, which is only one position on bullmoose or
equivalent wavy or Jones bars) but shifts beautifully and stands up to a
lot of a
I have several bikes setup with 42-29 chainrings and Shimano 11-34 or 11-40
11-speed cassettes, and I find that gearing pretty ideal for the sort of
riding I do - usually 60-100km rides over undulating terrain.
Here's one using a pair of TA Carmina cranks with a 94BCD spider. A 107mm
BB gives a
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.

Im not the most knowledgeable in the subject but what about white industries
vbc? Would those be an option?
That’s what I’m considering for my custom road with a 46/30 setup and a 9-speed
11/32 cassette

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
If you can handle the additional cost, the low Q-factor, endless chainring
size options, and beautiful craftsmanship of the Rene Herse / Compass
cranks cannot be beat in my opinion.

Why?

Apparently, for really low gear triple cranks work just peachy, right now
the Bomba has 24/36/44 and a 9sp 12-36 cassette with only the 14-32 portion

The longer the chain stays are, the less "cross chaining" matters. Years
ago, super short chain stays made "crossover gearing" a valid option - the
front gear spacing was the same as the rear gear spacing so you used
the inner two or three rear cogs with the small chainring and the outer two

I chose the 40-26 with a 12-29 or 12-32 miche cassette, both with a short
cage rear derailleur. Since i use 11 speed trigger shifters with my Bosco
setup, my LBS used around 1,5mm narrower
Lotsa good options and thoughts here. I must admit I'm leaning toward the
Herse setup, damn the cost. If I'm going to pay to go custom, I may as well
spend my wad.
107 BB or 110? (Thanks for that data point William D. R.)
One concern is that it seems to me that Grant's bikes do really well with
Yes, get the Herse cranks! I am certain you will be happy you did. As for

with the 46-30 it was nearly touching the frame, probably 0.5mm clearance,

Herse cranks are a thing of beauty. I would personally go 107mm cranks if the
chainrings clear and you won’t have heel rub issues. Since you’re going to
utilize big-big combo at times, it makes sense to move the big chainring
inboard a bit.

John,
I suspect you'll need a wider BB than the 107 that came with your Sam. A
while back I tried to install a VO 46/30 on my Sam it the 107 and didn't
work. Had I fully tighten the crank arm the 30t ring would've been touching

I think VO specs a BB with a 118 width for their c
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
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.

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
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.

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
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
For derailleur bikes, I've taken to using "sub-compact doubles" that are
actually 1Xs with a granny ring bailout; as I've adapted to this strategy,
my cassettes have grown from 7 speeders to 10 speeders.
Currently my ownly derailleur bike is my dirt road Matthews; with tires
measuring 29.6" tall,
I really don't favor one brand or model over another, but speaking in a general
sense I like the new 1X drivetrains.
I think wide ratio 9+ cassettes have pretty much killed the Triple front crank,
but I like a good double from time to time.
I recently built up a bike with SRAM 1X10 derailleur/s
Regarding the Q-factor; I used to worry about it quite a lot, then one day I
noticed that my natural gaite on the pedals when using a low Q-factor crank was
with my feet more to the outside of the pedals anywayz.
These days I go as narrow as the bike will allow, but I don't worry much
about it
