Johnny, What else are you going to do to the drivetrain? What rear cluster are you planning on using, 9 speed and 11-28? Is this a utility bike where you will just coast downhills, and will it see mostly paved use?
I have found 36-11 to be a bit limiting on the pavement and I am not a strong rider and tend to slow-roll in a 60-65 gear inch range. Also having your most used gears having fewer teeth like a 36-13 means they will wear out faster. With a 36-24 up front you can run a shorter cage rear derailleur if desired. -Dave J On Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 10:18:19 AM UTC-4, Johnny Alien wrote: > > So I posted a thread looking for a crankset because I didn't want to spend > a ton and didn't feel like piecing one together.
