I have a couple of bikes setup with 42/29 chainrings on 94BCD cranks and either 11-34 or 11-36 cassette. I find 42-11 quite a big enough gear - I can pedal it up to ~50kph without problem, and 29-34 or 29-36 can get me up some pretty long steep climbs also without problem. Nick Payne -- You

this the wrong way around. If you remove the outer ring, then the crank needs to be moved outwards, because the chainline is now between the two remaining chainrings rather than being on what was the middle ring when there were three. And vice versa if you get rid of the granny. Nick Payne -- You

I was in a similar situation: I had a comparably spec'd Giant with bars that were way too low for me to ride comfortably. I somewhat solved it by adding a long/tall stem and Bosco bars, but soon after built up my own Clem L. In short, the only thing MB-1 era bikes do better than a Clem is take
