Why did these fall out of fashion? Are people just not slow enough for the granny gear or something?
I had a triple until recently. and i never really used the granny until about 2 years ago. after renting a bike in FL for a week i decided i really liked the 2x up front and this past Jan i switched. much better, same dynamic range as before so i lost nothing.
as you get older you will learn to use that granny. ain't called a granny for nothing.
