as long as you have a low enough gear, it will be reasonable. be aware that if you're looking at a compact with a ring smaller than a 33, it can get spendy. but the nice bit about a lower gearing compacts (46x30; 44x28; etc.) is that you can stay in the big ring for all but really long or really steep climbs. you could always just run a 48 or 46x34 110bcd compact with a wide range cassette to get a low enough gear. but it kind of depends on where your sweet spot is and what kind of riding you're doing. you might end up shifting a lot between rings with this set up. gearing is definitely not one-size-fits-all. i have bikes set up with a 50x34 (11-25), a 48x34 (11-30) and a 44x28 (13-26). all very different bikes for different kinds of riding. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
