Hi All.
I have the following two road bikes:
Trek Madone 3.5 C H2 2013 Road bike
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tre ... e-ec040347
Trek Madone 4.9 Compact Ultegra Di2 2014 Road Bike
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tre ... e-ec054319
I've been using the 3.5 for about 3 months now and it'll now be sent back to Canada to be used about 2 months a year when I head back for vacation. The 4.9 will stay with me in the Netherlands to be used daily for training. The chainset on the 3.5 is an ulShimano Ultegra, 50/34 (compact). The chainset on the 4.9 is a FSA Gossamer(compact). Should i swap the two since the 4.9 will be my primary ride or performance wise are they both the same?
In addition is this a difficult procedure and is there any other parts (given that both bikes are stock) that I should swap?
Thanks!

By all means change them if you want to make work for yourself, but it won't make any noticable difference to either bike...0
