My triple works great
I switched my Serotta CIII with a DA 39-53 double 8+ years ago to 38-50 TA rings and have never regretted it.
My Chorus equipped Rambouillet has a compact crank with 36-50 rings and it works great too. However, I've known for some time that I could really benefit from a triple as I'm now 65.
In January I picked-up a NOS CIII (same size and color as my original) on this forum that had a 6503 Ultegra triple with 30-42-52 rings, 12-27 in the rear. Because of my experience with 38 and 50 rings, I immediately switched to a 26-38-48 TA configuration (thanks to Peter White Cycles). This new set-up works perfectly and the shifting is as good or better than any that I have ever used. I may switch to a 12-29 cassette before I take CIII No. 2 into the mountains.
