metalheart44, I've a 52-42-30 triple installed on my distance bike due to a knee injury. While my knee continues to improve and I use it less than before, it's going to stay on that roadbike... it came in handy in the past and might also again in the future.

ciocc_cat, On my rat bike the only age related change I made was to swap from a 12-21 to a 13-23 for riding on my part of the Gulf Coast where hills are actually an overpass.
