40/28 or 38/26

s1mon

Hi,

Nearly finished my HT build, I will be ordering an XT double crankset and already have a 11/36 cassette. Which crankset should I order 40/28 or 38/26 :oops:

Thanks.

What are you used to, have at the moment? Do you use the highest and lowest gears often?

s1mon

Only ever used a tripple.

You would still use high and low gears. Did you use the small chainring often?

s1mon

Hmmm maybe used the small more often than the big.

Just a 34.

I`d err on the side of caution and go for 38/26.
