I just started playing with this since I'm new and have a limited selection.
Started with an 82.8 (46x15) as per recommendation to be in the 80-85 range for new riders.
Pitched that heavy crank with non 144 rings once the season started and have been on an 86.4 (48x15).
Was doing jumps earlier this week on a 92.6 (48x14) but wearing out a bit too quick for a 1K on flat ground.
Changed to a 90.0 (50x15) for the races last night and dropped ~4.5 seconds on my 1K. There were some other factors like being in the lane, fitness I don't think was one having just been out sick for a week.
Keep in mind almost all of my training is on flat ground given my distance from the velodrome and sprinting is my direction.
Current thoughts are jumping back up to the 92.6 (48x14) or maybe even 96.4 (50x14) for the upcoming sprints.
Am I all wet or sound like a reasonable plan?
