camag Centaur triple on my Look Carbon. I can't keep my cadence (90-100) uphill without the triple, and then I slow down too much and also lactate up too much. I love my triple! I recently changed it from a 30 to a 28 so that I could keep the cadence on even steeper hills.

Those must be big hills! I went with a triple for similar reasons. I am trying to bring my cadence up to 100-110, so I need the granny from time to time. Maybe my next bike will be a DA double 10.

Double for Road
Triple for Mountain Bike.
Could not bring myself to use a triple on a roadie unless I moved to somewhere like the Pyrenees.

I had used to have Bianchi Shimano ulta
Ace triple and found it to slow. My new bike is a Orbea Lobular has Dura Ace doubles and I have found I can ride grades at a faster speed. Plus a longer grade.

Triples are good if you're just starting out. After a year, learn how to put down the fries and pizza, eat a little fruit and fish, and suck it up with the double ring.

Double on my Road
Double (Middle Small) on one of my MBs
Single on the other (32/16 match up)
Single on my Cyclocross.
I don't get the Tripple thing on the road either, not because anyone is a wimp or not, Just simply because it's a Crutch. If you are getting your butt kicked going up hill, just keep doing it and one day you wont. Getting out of your saddle isn't always a bad thing. JMO

Sorry, but many experienced and strong riders around the Smoky Mountains use triples. I consider myself one of them.
