Compact Crank vs Standard Crank?
Would a standard or compact crank be more appropriate for a 5'4 rider? Or does it not matter? The only con I know of for compact cranks is that the top-end speed is lower than standard cranks, but honestly, how many people (especially shorter people) can maintain a top-end speed that a compact crank can't reach? And, what would the optimum cassette choice be (if I run a 34x50 crank, 11x?? casette?)?
