I’m still riding bikes with 10 speeds, triple cranks, and rim brakes. I do all my own wrenching, and for me, any improvement offered by hydraulic discs, electronic shifting, or some of the proprietary components simply isn’t worth it the additional maintenance hassles.
It’s already hard to find triple brifters, but I’ll hold out as long as I can. At that point, I’m gonna have to suck it up.
