  • Thanks both.

    I'm currently looking at a nice second hand Ultegra 6700 triple groupset, but it has a 52 chainring. This means I can't use a 11-30 cassette right? Because of the capacity. What's the point of a triple if I can't even get a 1:1 ratio?

    If I'm correct I can fit a 11-28 cassette max, but I'm wondering if that will be enough (not sure what terrain I'll be doing, but I don't want to be under geared).

  • If you're riding fully loaded with front and rear panniers, the 52t chainring probably won't see any action except alpine descend maybe if you got good brakes.
