After a little help, have my old Giant ATX set up for whizzing around roads with slicks & spds but over time got fitter and find myself sat in the big (can never remember top or bottom) chainring for all of the journey. My question is ...
I would like to change the chainring set from current 44/32/22 to 52/42/30 to undertake more touring. Very happy with comfort of bike so not really keen/ lack of pennies to change to road type. Would i need to change anything else to adapt it?
I do like the occasional offroad on it still so just swap over tyres n saddle etc, do you think the bigger chainset will be a bit too tough? (I cycle mainly in wales!). Any advice welcome
