Good point. I suppose I could try out the package, and then adjust as I see fit. It might save me money in the long run. And at the very least, if I'm bound to use a different cassette/chainrings, then I would have some practical experience on the bike to inform my choices rather than basing them on theory. The only problem with trying out a racing triple equipped touring bike around Tokyo is that it's VERY flat. I may not discover what I need until I get it up in the mountains.
