I'm ready for an upgrade to the drivetrain. Hill climbing is top priority; speed is next.
I currently have triple chainrings and a 9-speed cassette. I'm happy with my wheel and tire set up.
Questions:
1) Did I miss anything?
2) Comments on my choices?
3) The above will cost a pretty penny. If I have to do this piecemeal, which ones should/can I do first? Since I'm moving form a triple to a compact double, and from a 9 speed to a 10 speed cassette, it seems to me that I would have to upgrade all of those components at the same time??
As always, thanks for your help.

- Crankset - I'd like a compact dual 110 BCD (50/34) - thinking of the Q-rotor 3D, or maybe a less expensive SRAM Apex or something else
- Chain rings - Q-rings 50/34T (Okay Pat, I'm in.)
- Bottom Bracket - Lot of options - undecided
- Cassette - SRAM Apex 11-32 (10 speed)
- Chain - SRAM PC-1091 chain
- Derailleurs, Shifters - SRAM Apex groupset
- Cables - Yokozune, Jagwire, others?
- Disc brakes - Avid Elixir 9 (I may do this at a later date).
