It would be if the bags contained enough fixings for a family of 10 at Thanksgiving. You know, stuff like canned goods, beer for Grandpa and a 20lb frozen turkey. Oh, didn't you know? It was implied.

Since there were less votes for the 1x drivetrain, what would it take for some people to be interested? Like an 11-46T cassette with 42T crankset, is that enough? That would give from 24.8 to 103.7 gear inches.

A prize, perhaps?

But seriously, I believe interest has waned due to your 'unrealized implications'. You didn't set up the original question to cover various things you brought up later and insisted were implied. This--> 'If you wanted a winter or rain bike (not expensive), which drivetrain would you choose' <--Is vague at best. Good job on the listing of various set-ups though!

OK, I got 30 votes on my poll. And this shows a lot to me. First, the appeal of 3x drivetrains is greater than I thought. Second, despite many people on the Internet talking about 1x drivetrains, it appears not as many people as I thought are interested. And third, it looks like the 2x drivetrain has the greatest interest.
My other observation I can make is I think if people want to use a cassette that goes from 11 to 28, 30 or 32T, it could be done with a 3x drivetrain*. Otherwise, a 2x drivetrain can be used with a cassette going to 34, 36 or 38T. Then a 1x drivetrain can be used with cassettes 40T or above.
At least now with this we can start to establish standards in the industry.
*Examples would be 44/32/22 with an 11-28T cassette or 46/34/24 with an 11-30T cassette (and as I said earlier 48/36/26 with 11-32T). Other interesting combos would be 48/32 with 11-38T and the 42T with 11-46T.

Too small numbers to determine anything, especially as many people would have voted for non of the above had there been an options. basically failed poll

..... people who voted for triple are likely to have triples....but in terms of buying new gear triple is not supported by bike companies

The industry thanks you.**

I was surprised myself by the number of people who voted for a triple crankset. But I don't think it's statistically insignificant. Hopefully it will encourage some companies to offer something more rational for their lower-end bikes. With Marin for example offering the Kentfield 1 with a 38T crankset and 11-32T seven speed cassette, this is simply too small a range. I hate to say this but it does give me the impression some companies may do this to try to force some customers to buy the high-end models. This doesn't make sense to me since there are people now living with higher rents. I just don't find it an ethical business practice.
