The TW has a range of 28 to 112. The V-REX and the Stratus 24 to 122. If you are a climb and coast
person lowering the TW to a 52/42/30 works well. If you want you can also use a SRAM 3 X 8 dual
drive with a 52/42/30 and have good variety of gears depending on what cassette you select. You can
also customize the front CW choice and cassette to reduce the number of near duplicate gearing.
