Keep the feedback coming....thanks.
Yes, the shifters would still be Ultegra if I swap.
I have a triple on the Klein now, although I hardly have ever used the smallest ring.
Still, it doesn't bother me that there is a little extra weight with the three, that's for sure.
I'm more wondering what the sawp to a compact would mean for me.
Hilly...yes.
Monster rides?
No.
Most of my riding is in the 25-40 mile range, 4-6 times a week.
50 years old...and this will be my ninth season of riding after total hip replacement surgery.
I just rode the 5.2 on a trainer this afternoon.
We plugged in all my measurements...changed out to a slightly shorter stem than the stock one and the thing felt great.
Shifting feels a lot different from my Campy, but it sure was smooth.
I also learned about those little bumps on the inside of the hoods...that they can control the computer on your flight deck? Cool....if I get the bike I might have to upgrade my computer to use that as well.
I posted a picture of the bike on a site, but the site is down right now.
Once I get a link I will post in this thread.
Thanks again for any advice on this.
