Currently I have a Trek 1200, fitted with a bontrager branded 39/52 crankset.
I'd really like to change this to either a triple, or compact double.
If I change to a triple, will I need to replace the sti lever (it’s currently a 2006(ish) 9 spd Tiagra model) not sure if it will allow 3 shifts. I think the rear cage is a 105 med length job so I guess this would be OK? - Anything else I would need to consider?
I'm assuming the compact will be the cheaper option
Is it simply a matter of changing the crankset for a compact version, or does something else have to change too?
Cheers
