Gear Talk / compact double or triple for low gears?

« on: July 18, 2006, 02:37:15 am »

Hey Russell and everyone,
Well don't ask me why, but this setup works great. I've done three pretty grueling on/off-road rides on pretty technical trails and the shifting has been flawless.

I'm using:
XTR 960 cranks (22-32-42)
XTR 961 front der
Dura-Ace 7803 Triple STI shifters
Dura-Ace 7803 mid-cage rear der
Dura-Ace 7800 cassette (12-27)
Wippermann ConneX 10S1 chain

Here's the setup before I went triple.

Thanks for all your help!

Hey Russell,
Do you know if I can use an XTR crankset on Dura Ace 10sp setup? If so, which front derailleur should I use with a DA triple STI shifter?

Thanks,
steven
