Will I be able to change ring decently from a 36t to a 52t chainring?

    36t to a 52t? You got single speed?

    With a 36t I awesome it's a 110mm BCD, which has 52t rings available from the likes of Stronglight and TA.
    I like bikes...

    Sorry, I meant changing gear while riding on a road bike!
    It was abit of a rushed post!
    What I meant to ask was would I be able to shift rings decently between a 52 and 36?

    Doesn't the spec. of your mech have a maximum teeth jump figure between chainrings?

    Most road double(standard and compact) have a capacity of 14t but tbh I have a Sram Red front mech on my TT bike and that handles 55/39 with no problems
    Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

    Most compact chainsets are 34-50 so a 16T difference.
    Hence 36-52 would work equally well

    Mine does 50 - 30. Mind you, there's a 39 in between them.

    Good point!
    I have a compact on already so it should be fine.
