I'm contemplating changing from a 50x34 compact to 52x36, and am currently using the 'CT' front derailleur...

Would that be the appropriate derailleur for the 52x36 or would the standard non-compact frt. der. flavor work better?

Any experiences with this?

Thanks,
Dave

No experience with this particular combo...

But you've got a similar 16 tooth drop, and a big chainring contour that is very similar (only 2 tooth difference), so it should work fine. There's some flexibility here---I've run triple FD's, compact specific FD's, and standard FD's on compact set-ups successfully.
