Is there really a noticable performance difference between double front rings vs triple?? I have a triple and have not used my small ring for three rides now. Granted, my longest road ride has been about 40 miles, but I have not needed the small ring at all and there a few fairly strenuous climbs on our routes. I'm not sure if I should consider getting a double, or keep the triple for a while until I become a more seasoned roadie.
