Gearing ?
hello everybody , I have kind of a newbie question on gearing .
To try to explain I come from a MTB background and have been riding a Trek 8700 Composite for the last 9 months for fitness ands wieght lose (started at 334 1 1/2 ago now 260 ) i am building myself a reward bike and my first real road bike ..
I have bought a 2013 Ridley noah pro and have deciede to go with Campy Chorus gearset < i am very interested in getting involved in Endurance cycling , but coming from a background of mtb's and triples i am wondering what would be the best chainring & cassette set up
Cassette options are a 11-25 or 12-27
and for crankset would i be better off with a standard 39-52
or a compact 34/50
I plan on doing alone of my riding alone the Pacific coast highway and some climbing ... any help or ideas would be greatly appretiated
