I'm looking at changing my levers to Tiagra after damaging one of my Sora's in a recent crash, but I can't find a definative answer to if the Tiagra 4500 levers work on a triple chainset.

Anyone want to shed some light on if its an option, or if they work on both as standard?

For example, CRC have Tiagra 4500 and 4503 models, and both claim to work on triples, but i've also seen 4500's advertised saying they only work on doubles.

    According to the Shimano website, and I guess they should know, the 4500 shifters are fine for a double or triple chainring.
