To me this is a weird combination. I'm used to 52t or 53/39t, with a 12-28t cassette, or pretty close to that. I do appreciate a compact 50/34t.
Thoughts?
all the disadvantages of a triple - and basically none of the advantages
the low gear is not low enough - the high gear not high enough
the tight spacing of the cassette is largely of dubious value on a bike with a triple
this setup does succeed to give triples a bad name
