Currently have a double (53/39) on my bike and find it good for my normal riding but im planning to do some riding in the alps next summer and think converting to a compact for that would probably be a good idea. No doubt a stupid question but what would i need to do? I know i cant just fit smaller chainrings and will need a new chainset but will the front and rear deraillers still be ok? And probably an even dafter question will i need a new left crank arm (would that come with the new chainset?) or will the old one do?
Also would it be easy to change between a double and a compact depending on the terrain i'd be riding? Or is it something you do then stick with until want to change permantly?
Thanks for any info![Smile :smile: :smile:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/smile.gif)
