Bike cranks

I have been riding for 6 or more years and my strength and endurance have improved but probably will only improve very slightly from this point if any.

I put a triple on my bike so that I could have the granny ring for climbing if needed. Well now I hardly ever use the big ring and I hardly ever use the small ring. I do 99% of my riding in the middle ring and the middle of the back cogs.

So I am wondering if anyone makes a crank with fairly tight spaced gears. I have this idea that the ideal front rings for me would be 36 30 and 24 in a tripple or just 36 24 in a double.

I am using down tube friction on the chain rings so a double would make it very easy to do full movement shifting.

Have any of you considered such a gear setup?
