Dual crown vs. Triple

This may seem like a dumb quesiton some, but its been bugging me.

What is the difference between a dual and a triple crown fork? When i see people refer to a triple, i can only count 2 Is it just that I can't count or? Would be awesome if someone could post an obvious pic of a bike w/ a dual crown fork and one with a triple crown. Once I see the difference, i'll get it

Thanks
Matt

It's Dual Crown (DC) and Triple Clamp (TC) both mean EXACTLY the same thing. Look at a DC/TC fork next time and you can count it yourself
