I know where you're coming from, what do I need with that much top-end? There's a particular part of a ride I do normally and running a compact front I do run out of gear, and its really annoying to want to keep accelerating and not being able to...

Yeah, I suppose I could... But like I mentioned, if I'm gonna spend the money on new chainrings, I may as well just start changing to 11 speed. No? Plus, I like having 34 in front with 9speed, as much time I spend in the small cogs, I spend about double in the large cogs. Although in responding to your suggestion and really thinking about my set-up and my rides lately, I probably could survive my climbs with a 36T small front... Interesting... Maybe 9speed 52/36 with 11/25 might be the ticket. hmmmm
