I have been riding triple crank bicycles for thirty years and spend an inordinate amount of time plotting gearing patterns. Shifting patterns are always a consideration. The modern index shifters are amazing when adjusted properly. My current bike is a 24 speed Jamis Aragon. Normally I use only the middle front chain ring on level ground. The idea is to have the ranges overlap with out duplicating ratios.
