Re: complicated triples. With STI shifters, which are ubiquitous in the high-end road bike market, shifting with triples has always been finicky. Recent STI seems better, but still not as simple as it is with friction.
Like DougP said, road triples have just a 30t low (and a 50t or 52t big ring). I assume it's customary to combine that with a 12-27 so chain wrap considerations don't cause problems. With the compact double and a 34t small ring, you could more easily use a 11-32 or whatever without chain wrap being such an important variable. Therefore, the low gear in both setups may be similar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
