Hmm, still not a fan of the triple crankset.

6 pages of thread in 7 days on the topic of who does and who does not like triple cranks and why you're an idiot for believing what you do....not bad! Gottta love this lock down!
I suggest a slight change to the topic. I want to know who likes triple cranks AND DISK BRAKES?!
Just kidding...I don't really care. But I do.
...is it 'disk' or 'disc'....or both....so many things to think about and so much free time to think.....

This is the second time you have called me stupid. Your need to be insulting just shows how poor your arguments are. I don’t question your intelligence and I expect the same from you.
The example I used is the same independent of which chainring/cog combination is chosen. By your own admission.
Your need for two shifts is the very definition of hunting. There is also no better example of a hole in the shift pattern than a need for a two cog upshift after a downshift. A shift pattern without holes wouldn’t require an upshift after a downshift. Triples aren’t perfect but the jump is much smaller and doesn’t usually need any upshift to adjust for cadence.
Then what do you call a 2 cog upshift that you do every time you shift?
Gear changes are not just done by feel. They are a combination of feel and looking at the road. I ridden in Colorado my whole life and I don’t just look down at my wheels when I ride. Large and steep climbs don’t get any easier if you don’t look at them.

I'd like to try some cable-actuated hydraulic discs some day. I have full hydraulic on my downhill bike and they are awesome! But I don't want the hassle of fluid-filled cables and giant brake levers/reservoir on a drop bar.
