Front: 22-36-48
Rear: 12-36 (9 speed)

The combo works nicely for me. I spend most of my time in the middle and, for climbs, in the small chainring. I don't bomb down hills like I used to, but I occasionally switch to the big chainring when I am feeling strong, or when there are tailwinds.

Although doubles have improved since the early 1990s, triples are still more versatile. But if I were to re-do my drive train, I would consider a theoretical set-up something like this:

Front: 20-30-40
Rear: 11-36 (10 speed)
