I have a 34-50 compact crank on my road bike with a 12-30 cassette. We have a lot of short and steep hills and some longer ones around here. My newest dirt road bike has a 34-50 crank with a 12-32 cassette. I am planning to build a custom anyroad bike and I will likely run a White Industries VBC crank with 30-46 rings and a 11-32 cassette. I like having low gears available when I need them.
