There's no way my knees would hold up for the riding I do if I didn't have a triple. I got a little chuckle during the Riv weekend listening to the out of town guys talking about how hard the climb up Mount Diablo was and that some of them had to walk the last little bit. Now, I don't find it easy and familiarity certainly makes it easier. But it was a boost to my ego nonetheless. I may crest it at 4 miles an hour, but I do it on my bike.
