Yes, thank you Indysteel - that is exactly what I meant to say, sometimes I stumble on my own written English when I'm tired...
I guess I always wonder why someone would put himself at a disadvantage on purpose, by using a triple or a compact instead of a standard chainring.
But, NY biker makes a good point too - so well, I guess sometimes it does make sense, thanks!
