Looking for help in sorting out the "Dual vs Triple" decision - I've sold the groupset off my roadie (long story) and need a new one. 95% of my riding is low, rolling hills around Melbourne with the occasional pinch. the other 5% is what we call alpine here in Australia, around the Mt Buller & Falls Creek areas. I don't climb well. I'm a true clydesdale at around 250.I'm looking to upgrade from 9sp daytona (53/39 + 12/23) to 10sp either chorus or record. There are some excellent deals on 2003 dual record as the 2004 stuff is coming in so the price difference between triple chorus and dual record isn't much. The triple kind of makes sense, particularly the 42 ring - I often find cruising on the 39 gives me too little and the 53 is a bit too much. being big and fat the extra hundred grams on the triple makes no material difference. OR would I be better off losing 50lb, learning to climb better on the dual? Any other clydes out there with experience of the triple out there? Are there tuning/chain durability issues for big blokes? How is shifting performance with the longer RD cage?
