Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

I'm not saying yours is one of these, but you have to check.
AFAIK, Dura Ace was the only one that did this and only for the 7800 series. The new 7900 series doesn't list a triple at all. Ultegra and 105 triples were and are 130/74.
