Most of those racer boys use standard doubles. That used to be our choice--between standard doubles and triples. So, from that standpoint, I like the addition of compacts to the market. They are a very good compromise for a lot of people.

What I don't like is that triples now have a wider q factor than they used to, which cause more IT band problems. I also don't like the fact that it's getting harder to buy triples. Campy just makes one (or maybe two), and last I checked they're not part of their regular lines. I have one and while it seems like its nicely made, I still think it's kind of BS.
