Time For a New Bike Porn Thread
I've only ever had doubles, but just cos that was what was on offer.
My maths is shit, so I've never quite understood the triple/compact comparisons, but I'm definitely going that route when my insurance cheque comes in, cos when I did the C2C two years ago, very fit and raring to go on my Cinelli, I couldn't help noticing the MTBers (w/ triple) were able to twiddle away and not get off on the really steep stuff, whereas I just didn't have an extra escape gear to go down to.
Plus the fact I think my knees are going (tendonitis at least) and my trad method of coping with steep climbs (accelerate into them, power up as far as you can, then see what happens) is no longer possible without significant twinges in the knee dept.
MEANWHILE...I bought my 1st ever piece of new-look Euskaltel gear recently (ebay, as ever). All my other Euskaltel gear was the orange/navy combo, but I just got one of these...
