No one mentioned chain line yet as another strength of triples. I have found that my chain stays happy, longer if I keep the lateral chain deflection to a minimum. I suppose I am not availing myself to all the available ratios but that is OK. I almost consider that I am running a “crossover” triple where I am OK with having 2 to 4 rear cogs to be avoided in each of the 3 chainring combos.
