yeah, you can run 9 speed and a triple and i would reccomend it - i rode with a guy yesterday on a 78 with that exact setup
i have a 46/52 front end which is just bearable but i am particularly skinny - i will however be buying a much bigger range cassette than last year
and get big tyres, my 36h wheels and 25c snapped 2 spokes form the white roads so will be running a lower pressure 28 or 32 this year
p.s under no circumstances will they allow spd's but everything else is pretty flexible - they may take away your privileges to where a race number and slap your wrists. at the start line the guy in front of me got fully turned away though
