  • What's the ideal groupset for a do-it-all road bike? I've got a Salsa Casseroll, which is currently set up fixed, but I'm wondering whether I can rationalise my stable down to just that one bike (plus my dadbike for shopping). It would need to be able to do brisk runs out for fitness, plus some light touring, so it would need some pretty low gears for gentle ascents of steep hills.

  • triple for touring

    Nah, any modern 2×10/11 groupset will easily go from 4:1 top to 1:1 bottom gear. Triples are out of fashion for a reason, they're more trouble than they're worth now that cassettes have so many and such large sprockets.
