This is the kind of nonsense that makes people buy what is wrong for them.
I'm a double guy (I've owned both a 53/39 and compact).
I just test rode a triple recently......after doing so I realize most of you are full of s****. The damn thing shifts fine.
Mechanical glitches? Sure, Maybe if you are doing the adjusting yourself and you don't know what the hell you are doing.
Sydney was right all along. If you can't make a triple work.......maybe you need to take it to a real mechanic.
