Let me start with a little information. I’m 63 years old, 6ft 2in and 190 pounds. I’ve been cycling for over ten years and have some road race experience. I also have two road bikes one is a 10 speed with the standard 53/39 crank set and a 12-25 rear cassette. The other is a 9 speed with the same gearing. I just moved to Asheville NC and love it. My problem is I’m not able to get into a good spin on some of the long climbs they have in the North Carolina mountains. I’m thinking of converting one of my bikes into a triple 52/42/30 or maybe a compact 50/30. I’ll leave the other bike as is, probably my 10 speed, it’s a newer bike. It may not make me climb any faster but should help me get up and over a littler more comfortable. Any suggestions?? Thank you
