Hello
i currently have a cube hybrid sl cross Compact and am going to get a road bike very soon.
Im not an experience cyclist, but am getting fitter and stronger each day.
im going about 15 miles per day 105 miles per week sometimes.
i want to start to stretch this.
i live in north wales. Its quite hilly.
I used to have a trek 7.5 fuel with a triple.
this was easier to get up the hills than im finding with my Cube.
I really don't know whether to get a triple road bike or compact.
Im concerned reading about all the negatives with a triple:-
longer chain
more chain wear
more servicing needed
but the lower gears would definitely help me get up the hills ( until i get lots stronger)
Do i need to stick at it with the compact and get fitter
or
go for the triple
any suggestions
many thanks
