What shifters do you currently have?
They are by far the most expensive item. £150 +
If you have 105 STI's then you may be lucky as they are both double and triple compatible.
Otherwise, you will definitely need a new chainset and bottom bracket and front derailleur and possibly a new rear derailleur as well.
It could start getting very expensive :shock: :shock: However, triples are great
(Sits back and waits for the tirade - why change to a triple it only gives one more gear? blah blah blah............ )
Tell us exactly what your current set-up is and it will be easier and more accurate to advise.

Expensive, you may be better off fitting a mountain bike cassette or at least one with a bail out gear, I think you need to be more specific about what you have and what you want to do. I say time and time again when people ask compact or triple, if you have to ask the question then go for the triple.0
