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.

Mountain XTR triple. Road Dura Ace double. Used to ride a 105 triple road, but only got in the baby ring once...and that was just to test it out. Heck, unless it's a killer hill I rarely get in the small ring of a double! Not saying the triple is a waste and a useless marketing scam, but I personally don't see the point. Now if you like the trip for it's 42 second ring versus the 39 of the double that could be a consideration.

Me? i ride an ANCIENT stronglight tripple, because i inherited the bike i ride. However i intend to swap it for an ultegra double as soon as i manage to scrape the necessary cash... Currently running 9-speed drivetrain with a crank that ran a million miles on a 7-speed chain and drivetrain. Since it spent most time on the middle ring if i try to ride that ring now with my 9s the chain skips like hell as soon as u put a little pressure on it (this has cost me two falls and a 5-day injury on my right knee), so i'm limited to the bigger (53) ring, because i dont use the granny.

Triple on my Douglas Motive 105, but a 'single' on my Trek 560. (converted it to a single speed freewheel)
