I never liked a triple. Even when they were stock on all mountain bikes, 100GS to XTR. It just never performed.

On the road with a decent amount of strength and a willingness to hate yourself a little, unnecessary.

Doubles can even get annoying. But in the realm of riding a road bike fast, usually worth it.

For mountain bikes and gravel, 1x is dominant and will only become moreso.

I'd even consider 1x if I were in the market for a high end road bike.

Triples are for the retired age on x-country expeditions. If that isn't you, htfu.
