Let me know how it turns out. I still have'nt been able to afford mine yet. I am reall interested in the 15/39 combo and what it does to top end cruising speed.
I just installed the new 39t rear sprocket and I love the shift spacing now for in town. Though to get higher speed, 5th needs a push from 4th to go above 65 but I got it up to 70 against a 6mph wind and minor hills in the country this morning. I think the 40t might have been a better choice though. I don't like the performance of 5th now.
