To get almost the same low gear ratios we have now - I would have to switch the front chainrings to a 26-38(or 39)-53. With my Rolfs I could get a Campy cassette carrier and then would need a new Campy long cage rear derailleur. Just not sure that everything would work capacity wise. I'm running a Dura Ace triple front derailleur.
We now have a 12-30 cassette, 26-38-48 chainrings, and a Campy long cage deraillleur. I think we could go with a 50 chainring but probably not any larger. Unless, we don't go into the small-small gears.
