Once Mt.Snow is over this might be something to think about...
American Mountain Classic
Registrants to watch...
In an effort to reduce front shifting problems, with my MTB 3x9; like a dropped chain or just messy shifting altogether, I have been considering going to a 2x9 setup for local non-mountainous events.

STRONGLIGHT Oxale Two
Somewhat of a Review
Obsessive weight information 2x9 cranks @ 545g + Ti ISIS BB @ 132g = 677g.
Middleburn makes some cranks with a DUO spider for a 29/4x setup.
FRM also makes some crazy expensive cranks
MTBTandems.com carries Middleburn stuff.
On the road for hilly events I want to experiment with a compact 50x34 mated with an 11x27* in the rear. *note: you've got to do some magic by mating two cassettes to create the 11x27. Take a 12x27, ditch the 16 tooth from the middle and put on an 11t with matching 11t end cap.
