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.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
