what the different between triple crank and double crank (or what they call compact)?!
difference between triple and double? 3 - 2 = 1... the difference is 1
there are a total of 4 types of un-awesomely worthless riders...
1) compact crank users - useless weaklings
a 50/34 crank so they have a lighter set of gears while keeping weight considerably low
2) hybrid compacts - bastards who do not want to admit they are a useless bunch of asswipes
a 52/36 crank, usually a standard BCD 130 crank with 52/39 swapped with a 36 inner chain ring, wants a lighter gear but does not want to show people that [s]he is riding a BCD 110 crank like a weakling
3) triple crank users - no words to describe them...
this people is so rubbish that they need a mountain bike granny ring to survive, never mind the weight.. you need a mid cage RD, UN-conventionally long chain which makes shifting sloppy and the ability to bear the laughter of the public...
4) the ultimate weakling - triple or compact crank paired with a wide range 11-32 or 11-34 mountain bike cassette
this people might as well put a motor on their bike... needs to be shot in the face if you meet them... usually, they will produce excuses like they climb hills a lot.. which is generally an outright lie...
i am in category 4

and i climb lotsa hills

Waht does having triple crank will do? Meaning more gear choices on different variety of condition?
triple crank will produce a lot of gear overlap... but it will give the lowest possible gear inch in any sort of combination even without a wide range cassette...
even roberto heras in the USPS days won his vuelta title with a triple crank riding up alto de l'angliru

really ah?
maybe by 2015, carbon frame become better and cheaper... can upgrade frame as well...
so even the advance TCR not match with campy? "Giant and Campy is like Nobita and Giant"
or Giant and SRAM a better combo?
when have anyone been satisfied? give you 2cm you want 2 inch... give you big mac you want megamac...give you iphone 4 you want iphone 4s.. give you ipad2 you wants new ipad2...someone give you 2 mil and you will want 2bil... get a hot wife who gives you wonderful sex life and you want to go out and call dirty prosty... company give you Beemer F10 and you will want a Ferrari 458 italia...give you ecstasy, you want cocaine... give you semi-d you want 3 storey bungalow... satisfaction is never achievable... our brains are never connected properly in that department... people who are satisfied are people who has dementia...or brain dead...
there will be carbotanium or nobrac material by 2015... carbon will be worthless like aluminum now...and the irony... you will want nobrac by then...
when have you seen a taiwanese speak in italian? tak ada mah... at least you see taiwanese speaker in english...even though taiwanese dun speak japanese... they still watch and learn from japanese AV, culturally similar at least... that or at least kanji is quite close to chinese writing...
Giant has bikes equipped with SRAM... never seen a Campy equipped Giant before..
some more... here no real campy pro shop... campy rosak damn the cialatness.. and replacement parts are not cheap... another whole new level of cialatness...
