Apparently, you are not paying attention in class.
What we missed is the sudden rash of terrible front shifting, triples, doubles, compact doubles, etc... Nothing seems to work well and even the attempts by Shimano, SRAM, Campy and FSA to correct the front shifting problems with electronics, batteries and wires has not solved the front problems.
Thus we are seemingly all going to move to a single front chainring and a very wide cassette - 11-42 or something.
You have been warned.
