I have a Scwhinn Tourist bike. The crankset is 48/38/24 I think. Not sure.... It's a Suntour crankset. I'm thinking of upgrading to a newer bike or at least a new crankset. I see some that are 50/34 and wondering if it's right for me. I also notice that many of the 50/34's are meant for 9 gear cassettes.
I am a commuter, but I have a little bit of a competitive spirit inside me. My rides are often with a lot of up and down hills. I love turning in good times and am wondering if I should consider looking at a crankset that has 50 teeth.
In any sense, my plates are looking worn down. The teeth on my plates are so worn down I'm thinking I have to bring my bike to the dentist!
Any thoughts?
