Shimano chain set rings

petevespa

Hi, Shimano chainset with 44-32-22 rings fitted as standard, this mtb is ridden 90% on road with road tyers etc: would i be better of with the bigger ring sizes of 48-36-26? running standard XT 11-32, just like any opinions.

Are you spinning out your gears?

No probabley not, but sometimes think would be better off if i had the choice of perhaps more road orintated gearing? just after opinions/options.

Your gearing will be upped, but at the expense of the lower end.

But if you are not spinning out, I'd keep what you have.
