Arguably you are not supposed
Arguably you are not supposed to do this, its what is known as cross-chaining. This is much harder on the chain and drivetrain, and given the way gear ratios on a modern bike overlap as you change cogs on the front, you should never really need to do it anyway. Its a bad habit thats very easy to stop doing!

Eh , ultegra triple and only
Eh , ultegra triple and only a 7 speed rear block?

You sure you are talking ultegra and not tiagra or even sora?

Anyway if you are cross chaining then yeah it’s likely ur rear mech and chain are on it’s limits on a triple…

That’s if I’ve even understood what you are asking 😕
