Hi all.Thanks for the replies.I am on a shimano 105 compact 50/34 chainset with an ultegra 12/27 cassette.Obviously as my fitness improves hopefully my climbing skills will but at the moment I am finding it a bit of a struggle as I live in the depths of the Cotswolds.Maybe use a triple now and change to a compact at a later date?Expensive option I know but my LBS are willing to buy back my compact set at a good price.
If you have a 50/34 then yes you're already using a Compact so triple is therefore the only option. If the LBS are willing to do it without it hitting your wallet too hard, then go for it. Your 27 at the back should be sufficient for v steep sections. If you're struggling, even a little change might make the difference between hating the hills and enjoying your riding, which is what it's all about ultimately.
