Darby,

I ride a lot of hills and could not be happier with my Campy Triple. Present gearing is 11-25. Was able to finish the Death Ride but am thinking of changing to more gears for the ride this year. The 11 with a 53 large chain ring allows peddling to around 33 MPH before spinning. Due to a broken frame a friend recently went from a compact double to a triple and much prefers the triple set up.

ndr,

Wow, thanks. This was the kind of feedback I was hoping to get, someone that gave up a compact and moved to a triple. It seems like a triple would be a good choice for an multi purpose bike.

Say, do you have a medium or long caged derailleur? I will need to buy a derailleur for this set up.

By the way, an 11-25 seems like it would be good combination. IRD sells an 11-28 if you need a higher gear range.
