I've often thought one of those shifters would be fine. My big ring is small enough that it covers most of my unloaded riding. I recall these shifters from when I first started riding, but in those days most doubles were only 5-7 teeth apart and triples pretty rare, with maybe a total difference between 3 rings of 14-16 teeth. Wonder if one of these would work on a 22-24 tooth difference? The issues of BB height, chainstay vs ST angle, etc., would still be there. dougP
