Road triple vs. Mtn. triple
Are modern road triples tough enough for touring, of is best to use tough, "heavy duty" mtn. triples.

The rear is where mtb components may be better for touring because they have a broader range of gears. I use a Shimano 12-32 nine-speed cassette with a Shimano Deore LX rear derailleur. The chain is a Shimano 9 speed chain. It all works great together. |

Re: Road triple vs. Mtn. triple
More the question is whether a road triple offers enough low end gears for a fully laden touring bike on that mountain pass climb.
