And I have many sweet spots, friends.
During group rides I will gain 10 feet on you every single time you switch rings.
And ten more feet while you realize you are now in too high or too low a gear.
The sweetest advantage of all: elimination of unnecessary thought.
I run a 50/39/24 crankset and a 48/38/22T crankset and with an N-Gear jump stop, I never drop the chain either.
I don't lose 10 (extra) feet everytime I shift my front derailleur (at least not when I've tuned it correctly). And for my troubles, I get almost a factor of two in gear range.
All that being said, nicely done! This is what you wanted and it looks to be done nicely.
