And I might have completely missed the boat, but I thought the compact was introduced first to MTBs for better rock clearance and had smaller cogs to match, then roadies started using it for the lightweight. Isn't that what it's still marketed for and some people just use it to get the lower gearing they desire? Or are the manufacturers actually marketing it as a climbing option?
