Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That's good, I got the XX for my cross bike (and for Everest Challenge), but it was crazy expensive (even with team discount). A lower level/cheaper option would be welcome.

Nor would I. I'm sure if anyone objectively read through my postings in this thread (and others) they would not find any attacks of triple users. I have nothing against people who prefer triples, only people who feel that it is The One True Way.
