I am probably guilty of over analyzed the whole gear ratio thing, and have been trying to determine whether to get a compact or a bigger cassette. However, now I am probably going to go in an entirely different direct. My local bike shop called me because a customer wants to replace their almost new Campy Chorus triple with one of those new Ultra Torque Compact cranks. This triple has 1700 miles and is supposed to look new--I am going to see it tomorrow. I hadn?t considered a triple because of the cost of replacing both derailleurs and because I have heard that they do not shift between the three chain rings quite as smoothly as a double. I have never ridden a triple. Is there anyone here that rides a triple? How well do they shift between chain rings? Is there any downside to having a triple? Thanks, Bruce Darby Post Extras
