52-36 SRAM Powerglide Mid-compact 10-speed chainrings

Got tired of getting spun-out with my 50-34 compact crank, so got these rings - keeps most of the bottom end of a compact (110 mm BCD) crank, but adds the top end which is so nice to have chasing speed down the hills! Less than 500 (I'd guess) miles later, I got a standard crank, so these are orphans. Email me at at wbturek at yahoo.com for photos. I guess $50 for the set?

Bill, you are really switching to a standard crank?  I can't imagine attacking some of the hills we ride with that gearing.  Have you ridden anything with a ridiculous grade yet?

I'm happily riding a 50-34 right now but that 52-36 seems right in the sweet spot. I'd hold on to them until I was absolutely sure.

Wade, I'm stuck with a 130 bcd 53-39 on my road bike. I put the compact crank on my "adventure" bike, and physically can't run the 52 on it.

I managed to make it up the tramway climb at the end of the Tour of California stage #2 without paperboying, puking or cramping, so I guess I'm set!

That said, the 52-36 was a pretty sweet setup. 52 is almost 53, but 36 is, and feels, a fair bit less than 39.

I will Take them if they are pretty. I just got my S-Works Crank so these would make a nice addition.-David
