triple to compact - campag

[Scott Garrett]

Hi a newbie here so please be gentle I have a campag mirage triple on my bike and would like to change it to a compact I was looking at a FSA Omega chainset  Is this possible ? and if so what other parts would I need ? Thanks for any help

New BB Of course and maybe a change of front mech.That is all really.

I'd stick with the triple, you don't know when the alps or pyrenees might call.

Cheers for the replies ALMAC - Thanks chainset comes with new BB will look at a front mech eliot coolican - the alps and the pyrenees are always calling , the reason to get away from the triple is that I am rubbish on hills and always end up bailing out so was working on the if you haven't got it you can't use it method

Sorry Scott, they are torture if you have no experience or inclination.

being massively exhausted 2/3rds of the way up, you see a sign saying 11km to the summit and the road suddenly steepens.( col d'aubisque,Tourmalet, stelvio will all fit the bill).
