Yes compact crank set (50/34) and standard 5700 not the 5701. What I'm finding is the 5700 max cog is 30 and a chain wrap of 34, I'll have a 12-32 and a 50/34, so I'll be be a little too big at 32 and 36. I might work though, I will try it first. Here is some pictures of it on the 50 and 25 now, there is some room. What's your prediction?
