Suffering on the hills? Explore your options for gearing set-up to make climbing mountains a doddle cycling
If you’re on a road bike you’ll probably have a double chainset – one with two chainrings. There are three common double chainring combinations: a 52 or 53-tooth outer chainring with a 39-tooth inner chainring; a 50/34T pairing, known as a compact or a semi-compact 52/36T.
The capacity of a Shimano 105 front derailleur, for example, is 16T so it’ll cover all of the common double chainset combinations.. These typically have 46T and 30T chainrings for a roughly 10 percent drop in gears.One final option for changing your gearing is to swap from a double chainset to a triple chainset. A typical triple setup for the road has a 30T inner chainring compared with the 34T inner chainring of a compact setup.
