There are very many ways to skin this cat, but I like to do this:
Choose one ring, whether it be the outer or the middle in a triple, or the
outer on a double, on which I can do most of my riding, including downhills
and tailwinds, and most hills and headwinds. I do this by changing my
cassette as
Lungimsam, why ? Is it really an issue to shift across 3 rings ? Will it
truly make one bit of difference to your riding experience ?
Sounds to me like your setup is already working for you and as such doesn't
need fixing.

I found this to be a great tool for experimenting with gearing as mentioned
in my build thread. You can use it to check the gear inches on what you
have now. Then,
I converted my Hunqapillar from a 24/36/46 triple to a 24/38 plus double FD
and had no issues shifting whatsoever. Could go to 24/40 for the maximum 16
tooth differential.
I have that differential on the Bike Friday with the René Herse 36/52 and
have no issues shifting either.
You can keep the FD
History:
I use a 26-36-46 up front right now
I use a 13-30 7-speed cassette in back (avoids autoshifts with friction
that way).
Bleriot. 135mm d'outs in the back.
This enables 95% of the hills I ride without dropping to the granny ring.
But sometimes I must use it. Happy to do so, too.
