does anyone have experience riding a 52/39 crankset with a 10-36 cassette?
I went with a 48/35 SRAM chain set with a 10-30 cassette, as the ratios matched up with what I had previously ridden on the hard end (53/39 and 11-30 cassette). I found it quite off and not enough big ring resistance.
Next size up is a 50/37 with a 10-33, but I fear that won’t be hard enough either just with how disappointing the 48/35 is.
I get close to 4w/kg when at race weight, but currently at 3.5. Any thoughts out there if I should just jump to the 52/39 with 10-36? I’d still get the climbing gear but have my bases covered on the high end. Thoughts? Thanks!
