I'm sure that this is a very common question but I can't seem to find an answer to it. I'm building
up a new road bike with triple front/9 rear gearing. Are there any combinations of gears that are
either impossible, or at least unrecommended due to excessive chain flex, derailleur rub or wear,
chainstay rub, etc.? I know that on my old 2x7 road bike the extreme combinations were effectively
unusable, but I'm wondering how this works with a 3x9.
Also, does it make a difference as to which make and model of cranks, cassette, chain and
derailleurs one uses? I'm most likely going to go with Shimano Ultergras, but there's a chance I'll
go with Campy Chorus or Centaur.
If there are online resources that answer this sort of question, that would be great too.
Thanks!
