compact crank

So my idol actually reads my blog and is thinking of getting a compact crank.
"enlighten me on how a compact crank with a huge ass cassette = hopeless please. cos im thinking of changing to compact crank so... am i hopeless??
"

Given his 1400 watts ability, a 11-23 or 11-21(if can find) cassette would suit him well. A decent ride would be able to climb fable in the 23t at fable with a compact crank.in fact i do in in 19t,only hopeless ppl need a 25 or 27t

But then given that he is so fast and powerful, a pity his small chain ring would remain new as it wont be called into service of the power legs.
