Do you have a "compact" crankset? 34x(something) 110bcd?

Not all of the current Shimano groupsets support a 3x option. Campagnolo generally does allow 3x for their shifters.

But, your change is likely going to take at least:
  • New Crankset
  • New Front Derailler (cyclocross, not MTB)
  • New Left Shifter
Thanks clifford, my bike is still stock, the only thing I changed was the wheel set to Mavic ES. I didn't realize I'd have to change the shifter also. This may end up costing more than I expected.

Brakeset Shimano Ultegra brakes, Shimano Ultegra levers
Shift Levers Shimano Ultegra
Front Derailleur Shimano Ultegra
Rear Derailleur Shimano Dura-Ace
Crankset FSA SL-K, 39/53 teeth
Bottom Bracket FSA MegaEXO
Rear Cogs 1-speed, 12 - 27 teeth
Chain Shimano Ultra
