Why do you say it's stupid? On my Gunnar I have a 52-39-30 triple with a 11-25 cassette. A gear for almost anything, including the 52x11 for chasing those skinny climbers on the descents. I put an 11-30 cassette on it for a trip into the Eastern Sierra mountains and the 30x30 helped a lot.
Lately, I've been riding the other bike which has a 50-34 with a 13-29. Low enough for climbing but I really miss the big gears on some rides. Gonna have to change that cassette.
