Compact crankset versus triple

I checked Excel and could only find the Tiaga version.
They mention it's also available in the Ulegra, but I
couldn't find it. I emailed them, and they responded
saying they do not carry the Ulegra version. Are you sure
yours isn't Tiagra?

Re. Kunich's comment, I just bought an Ultegra junior
9-speed cassette (Excel has them in stock). 14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-
25, kind of two-thirds corncob with the usual lower
gears. Like others here, I only use the 12 on two or
three short 40mph downhills a week, and I don't really
need it or the 13. It seems to me that almost every
amateur would be better off with a 16 than a 12.--

Oh, oh, last time I said that we saw tons of opposition
telling us that there was no way you could place in the
top 100% without an 11 tooth.

Word. I phoned them up to buy it. The website says that the
Ultegra is also available, you just can't order it online,
apparently.--Shayana Kadidal

No one said that, or even close. Metcalf said he "needed" an
11t for a specific event. No one is going to forget what was
wrote. So don't think a little passage of time will permit a
complete distortion of history to suit your fancy.

Metcalf was a pro rider in case you forgot. After Kevin said
that there were OCCASSIONALLY races in which he needed an
11, two thirds of you idiots thereby concluded that your
legs could turn them over and you would need one on any
racing you did as well.

Don't think that your idiocy is going to be forgotten
because of the passage of time. And the history contained
in Google.

He was a Cat 1 and he got beat that day by an 50-something
old Scott Hennessy (sp?).

Good grief.

Okay then. Post that "history."
