Depends on user involvement.. I run a 50 40 24t on 3 bikes a 52 42 26 on a 4th..
3 are <C>race triples with 3rd chainring swaps.
though I come from the Pre Klick Shift expectations generation..
and note where I am headed ,
change gear before it will have difficulty changing, being inthe Middle of the Hill..
A tourist triple, 16t drop down, from middle adds a few more potential climbing ratios
below the Middle to Lowest cog on the rear.. (smaller the difference , more ratio overlap)
