compared to 9 speed; or even for that matter a 7 speed triple. I moved away from 7 speed freewheels because they offered a 12 cog & now an 11, which offers the option for a smaller big ring. A 7 speed triple with 13-28 offers closely spaced gears and a decent low gear. A 9 speed 11-28, can offer the same range and spacing as a "racing" triple.
10 & 11 speed systems add cost and reduce durability with not much to offer in return. michael On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 5:52:28 PM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > On Tue, 2012-05-15 at 14:42 -0700, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > Campy has always made wide range triple deraillers.
