Why are there always triples in low end bikes.
wouldn't it be (slightly) cheaper to produce compact doubles? and it'd be more reliable with just 2, which has to be pretty important seeing as they're gonna be low end shifters and you want to give em an easy job
Is it just because it's a standard and people assume bikes should have 3 because "well when I was a kid..." and think compact doubles will have no range?
or is my hatred of triples just irrational? Seriously I hate them and I only think they're a good idea if you're touring.
