Dont follow. They arent highly regarded for touring?...if thats the case, neither is a compact double. They arent highly regarded in terms of quality?...if thats the case, I havent noticed anything that makes them worse quality than their sibling doubles. They arent highly regarded by road going folk because they are snobby about equipment?...eh shouldnt be important.


Or are they not highly regarded for a reason not listed?




A road triple running as a double could get the 2 chainrings down a good bit to make spinning easier.
