how many of us still riding Triples?
My trek pilot 2.1 came as a 105 triple and I've just carried on with that, now on the standard hollowtech II tiagra triple that I transfered to the Cayo. I have ridden a double which works ok with the right cassette but I do like my hills. I'm wondering whether its with going to a double next time I change the crankset.
Any thoughts or wisdom welcomed thanks.

Sounds like you're happy with what you've got so why change?
If updating the drivetrain then going to 11 speed is nice, and you could have a 34/32 hill climbing gear on a compact double. What's your lowest gear at the moment and how often to you use it?
