I run a compact 50/34 and 12/27 in a hilly area. I have already learnt that I cannot use a 52 without crosschaing too much but the 50 suits me. 34/27 will get me up all the hills in my area-----So why is it that when I take the MTB on the road with 44/32/22 and 11/32--My favourite gear for hills is 22/32.
