I have a 2016 Specialized Tarmac Sport (specs on bikeradar here) with a stock 52/36 up front and 11/28 in the rear. Suggestions?
I went from 11x32 34/50 to 11x30 36/52 last summer (new whip) and I immediately noticed the difference. Faster, but clearly harder.

Perhaps a new 11x30 or 11x32 cassette would help?
