    Someone babbled about a MTB triple 22-32-44 for touring-

    Hey that's what this here lard-muffin did and it worked great. I used standard Campy 13-28 9spd
    rear, Campy racing triple F & R , Veloce Ergos, and a MTB crank. On my timeless 1983 Trek w/
    501 reynolds.

    As I weaved my way through the falling snow toward the top of the Stelvio, so zonked with altitude
    effects that fast-moving oncoming cars didn't look particularly dangerous to me, I slobbered along
    with a 20-34-44 and STILL had to keep stopping near the top to rest. Well, I had done the Mortitolo
    two days before.

    44-13 was fine because even going downhill all the wind resistance from the panniers and stuff keep
    you from really being able to go fast anyway.

    I have a photo of me at the top of the Stelvio. How did that fat guy ever get to the top, I wonder.
    Well, fat boy had a 20-28, and going two miles an hour was still murder.
