I have a modern gravel bike. Yuk. Anyway…. I have a 50/34 chainset and 11-32 cassette fitted and 700c wheels. I’d like to do a bit o’ touring on it.
The current gearing is clearly too high for being loaded. I have rummaged around and found a pair of mtb triple cranks and 26/38t chainrings. I was planning on swapping these out with a matching bb. I’ll think about possible front mech woes later…
Do you think a 38/11 top gear is too low? Sheldon Brown says that equates to 24mph ish at 90 rpm. The chain line **should** be ok going road to mtb and only using the middle/inner.
