maybe you miss the 53-39 and fell for all the hype?
I currently run a 52-39 on a 12-25
For years I had run 52-42 on a 12-23 or an 11-23 or even a 14-25.
Surely it makes sense to have a 5036 on a 11-23?
I don't understand why everyone doesn't use a compact. especially mated with a 11-23 cassette. I run the traditional 50/34
A 50-11 is slightly faster then a 53-12 at 90PRM. A 34-23 offers a much lower range then a 39-25 as well. All this in addition to having tighter gear patterns.
