My Ultegra Triple is 30x39x52 Hmmm. I'm thinking that since I have a 10 speed my gearing is different (as MP was sayinig....)

My older road bike has the 52 and my newer the 53. The LBS tried to talk me into a compact for my new bike but I stuck with the triple and Im happy.
All of my rides near home involve some sort of hills. I tend to stick to the smaller ones (it makes my knees happier) but you could climb some whoppers if you wanted to.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I ride a 30-39-52 triple with a 12-27 in the back. I don't regularly do any completely flat rides, and ride Mt. Diablo (usually just halfway) and surrounding hills regularly.

I have a 38-46 on my fuji. The last mile of my climb home after work is 10% overall, with about .25 of a mile at 15.5%. I still haven't beaten this hill. I've been thinking of changing my crankset.

We have reasonably serious hills up here, on the coast and points east, and I and my knees have become mighty fond of my triple--I have the newer 53 ring also.

You're probably right - I just don't know Shimano components.Sarah
