I've got an older (1999?) Campy Chorus 9 speed. The gearing now is 52/39 front, 12-23 rear. I'm
getting talking into Grandfather this fall - 100 miles of climing, some severe (10% or worse).
As my knees no longer can withstand that kind of abuse, I'm thinking of a triple front with suitable
rear. Is it possible? How much of the existing drivetrain would have to be swapped? I'm hoping that
only the rear derailleur would have be changed to a long cage if Campy makes one, and that the front
shifter can handle a triple crank.
Any ideas?
