Hi all:
After reading the various double/triple discussions here, I'm thinking about trying a 110BCD double
crank with either 50/36 or 48/34 chainrings. I had a few questions for the experts in the group.
I know that Rivendell sells the Ritchey double with 46/34 rings, but I was curious to know if the
rings on that crank will shift well with either Ergo or STI (do the rings need to be 'ramped and
pinned' to use with these systems?).
I've also noticed that Stronglight makes a 'Granfondo' 110 BCD double crank with 50/36 or 48/34. Has
anyone here tried this crank? Are the Stronglight cranks designed with spacing to shift better with
Ergo or STI, or does it matter as long as the derailleur and shifters are compatible? Does anyone
know which bottom bracket to use with this crank?
The TA Zephyr double also seems like a great choice, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the
other cranksets.
Is there any other brand I should consider?
