I'm currently riding with an Ultegra Di2 groupset on my 'best' bike.
The crankset is 52/36 and I run an 11 - 32 cassette.
It's very hilly around here (North Devon) and I find I am on my limit at times on this gearing.
I'm thinking of changing to a compact, 50/34, chainset as I reckon this would solve my problem.
My current crank length is 172.5mm. This is what came as standard on the bike.
Looking around the internet, I can get a crankset with 170mm cranks for around £30 less than one with 172.5mm cranks.
Would it make much difference losing 2.5mm off the crank length? Would I notice?
