Having read about this a little bit more, maybe the existing front derailleur would be able to handle 52/34 better than 42/34? 52/34 is close to a standard modern compact double. But is that too big a jump? Or am I likely to need a new front derailleur in order to handle the 34t inner ring, regardless of what size the outer is?
