| Double. There is no reason you need a triple. If you really need easier gearing, get a compact. But don't get a triple. They are a mechanical hassle, they weigh more, and you don't need that granny gear anyway! (I don't know you, but I know you are stronger than that. :) Plus, buying a triple will cost you extra money because you will eventually start to hate your triple and then you'll have to swap it for a double anyway. Take it from someone who was in your exact position several years ago, and made the wrong decision. I was talked into getting a triple by a bike shop employee ("well, you're a woman and you are new to cycling, so you should probably go with a triple"). To this day it still annoys me that I listened to that guy. Hopefully I haven't offended anyone who might ride a triple... but I just get so frustrated that no one advised me to buy a double from the start! So now I am providing you with that perspective. :) --- On Mon, 3/9/09, Janet Schneider <janet.schneider@...> wrote: From: Janet Schneider <janet.schneider@...> |
