There is a huge stigma on triples but 50/39/30 is better than 50/34.

Most of the time the 50 to 39 shift requires no rear shifting, 50 to 34 almost always. In a fast group I have much less anxiety with 50/39/30 when a steep hill is looming.

I think it's funny that there are no triple hydraulic road levers. Gravel, commuters, and tourers are having to resort to gizmos to run absurdly large cassettes. 1x11 is ok for the dirt and for riding by one's self but sucks in a pack ride.

The triple will return. 1x11 will go away.
