Not like itll be fixed over the internet, but I am always interested to see the setups of those who dont have triples that work. It seems many dont have proper trim options.
Most issues with triples is people want to cross chain small small / large large, and that doesn't work.
Or they bought a used bike. True story, my neighbor says his bike isn't shifting right. Pulls out his Leatherman and bends his FD. he also told me his front tire wasn't holding air. He tells me he checked it 8 times and every time he checked it it was lower. (using a car tire pressure gauge)
he has Shimano 50LX rapidfire, I told him he needs to keep the shifter lubed with triflow or similar. Days later he tells me he opened it and filled it with graphite powder.
His career, a mechanic... LOL! Not a bike Mechanic apparently.... hahahah
