If Rivendell makes its own cranks, how many say 110/74 and how many say smaller -- 86 or 54 or whatever the old Cyclotourist is?
The virtue of the smaller BCD is that you can run very compact doubles in the outer two positions; 54 down to 26 and, IIRC, 86 down to 26. I use a XD2 as a 38/24, but I have to run the rings in the "middle" and innermost positions -- not that this is a huge hardship, but it would be nice to have 1 BCD for all 3 rings. My vote, fwiw, is a budget alternative to the Compass Herse cranks, but with a bit of flare to the arms so that they can accomodate frames that themselves accommodate 60 mm tires, at least, while keeping Q to a minimum. That -- small bcd, minimum Q for mtb frames, silver, silver, silver -- is, I think, a real and valuable niche, and I'd love something like it for the Fargo.
