Question for you guys with compacts. Are you guys staying on your big chainring when coming to a stoplight, or are you shifting to the small chainring? I find that my 50 ring is a little too tall to be able to accelrate quickly from a stoplight without crosschaining (2nd largest cog). To remedy, I need to drop to the 34 chainring at a stoplight, then shift to 50, which leads to a subsequent shift in the cogs to minimize the difference. Lot of extra shifting.
Am I just weak?
