What are the advantages of a compact crankset over a triple on a bicycle?
I'm thinking of changing my triple crankset for a pact. I tried a bike with a compact rental (Cannondale R2000, Nice bike), and liked it a lot. Right now I'm riding a Specialized Roubaix with components Shimano 105. I'm like a beginner, who just started some three months. I have a scaler built and tend to prefer moderately hilly routes.
The main advantage is that the compact crankset change is much closer to the high cadence riding is the current trend in modern cycling. With a standard 30/42/52 triple crank has dishes, of which most people use for 42 and 30 rings. The 30 is a bit too short for most mountain walks, and basically Super fast to is spinning up a hill. The 42 is a little too small for barreling down a hill, and 52 is so steep that is rarely used. The crankset compact with 50 and 34 tooth gears are theoretically better for the more cyclists ride today. The 34 gives short enough prepared to get up big hills, but not as short as the train of the grandmother in the triple, and 50 gives the speed in a manageable dose. A few things to consider, however. To switch to a compact double, need to replace a number of components, including the bottom bracket, cranks, Rear Derailleur (optional but highly recommended), front derailleur, and possibly the gearshift to the left. You may be able to get what you want to change the tape on his bike, which of course is much cheaper.
