Maybe if you mentioned what bike you had or the tooth counts of the current rings/cassette, more ideas would flow?
I'm purchasing a new bike. I'd decided on a cannondale caad9, partially because of budget, and it's great except it comes with either triple or standard double. 12-25 cassette. So I wanted to switch out the standard double for a compact double as part of the purchase.
I don't really want to have to order an entirely different bike just to get a compact, but I may.
