52T Compact
Has anyone bolted a 52 tooth chainring to their compact crankset. I just saw one on sale and was thinking about trying it out.

You can, as long as you dont exceed the capacity of your front derailleur.

I was looking for 52/39 rings in a 110bcd to replace my 50/34 and the cost of the few I found were almost as much as the standard crankset I ended up buying.
