Simon von Bromley and Liam Cahill chat chainrings in the pro peloton
In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Simon von Bromley sits down with Liam Cahill to talk about the recent trend of oversized chainrings in the pro peloton.
Following on from Simon’s feature – you can read the full deep-dive here – the two discuss common chainring sizes and theorise why we’ve seen pros more commonly using 54T chainrings – and far bigger. Are they simply much stronger these days?
They also delve into whether you should consider upping your chainring size to match, and what gearing you should consider depending on your local terrain.
