I ride in the Brevard NC area frequently and have my Tarmac set up as a triple. I was on a hill with a guy the other day and we figured out his low gear, using a Sram 2 x 11 has the exact same low gear as my Ultegra triple group. Now, I realize I can get that low gear with a Shimano 2 x 10 but the 11's are coming and I thought I would jump on at this point.
Not everyone agrees I can see that.
It may be more cost effective to buy a new(er) bike all set up with an 11 speed.
