I remembered shimano XT used to have 48t on the crankset for mtb, why did they stop making them? And i do find comfort or trekking mtb with 48t (which, in theory, are faster than an XTR )
i was thinking of switching the 44t crankset with a 48t to speed things up since i always find that there is no resistance left on a 44t-11t when i am cycling on the road/downhill. Any real advantage in speed or complications? Shd i or shdnt i? Any other options to speed up my mtb??
I dont usually do dirtjumps or stunts, just cross-country and occassional trails/bushes for fun. I do find 44t-32t pretty useful when going up almost any hill while xc; so if i change to a 48t i gonna lose that gear ratio...
Another matter, how do i know if i fit a 170,172 or 175mm on the crankset?
cheers
