theyre marketing it as a "triple killer". i wouldnt wanna race on it cuz the gaps in the cassette gearing are gonna be huge, but its certainly an option for getting up the steep or long stuff.
I've considered this. It actually doesn't have any gaps worse than the 12-27 I have now except for the granny gear.

I'm considering a custom wheelset so maybe I'll put one of these on one set. I wonder if I can switch back and forth with the same chain length?
