Specialty Crankset
Hey everyone, I am currently running a cyclocross gearing and am relativly happy with it but would actually like to go even lower. I don't race, rarely am I riding above 20mph, and usually if I am then I am not pedaling anyhow to be honest.
I am a bigger guy, and Portland and it's surroundings are anything but flat, and I have a new found love of climbing but would like to be able to spin more.
I am wondering if anybody knows of a double that would allow something along the lines of a 39/30ish. Essentially I want a triple without the 53t.

A mountain bike crank would probably work well for this as most of them have a large ring of 42 or 44 with a 32 middle ring and then remove the inner ring.
