>>974103>triple-izer chainringwow, yeah, that's exactly what I want, but christ almighty Red Clover charges $91 for one, and of course then whatever the granny ring costs. My bike's stock crank is a 144 BCD which means my ring choices bottom out at 42T. This is total frownsville for hauling $70+ worth of groceries (including a 20lb bag of dogfood) home. Plus, I want to do some tours in the future.
I got the Mega-range freewheel on the back and I already had to invest in a long-cage rear derailleur to fit it. I'd rather just use my stock freewheel with a smaller ring up front but that means investing in a triple crank (not really a big deal money-wise but I already shelled out for the new RD…)
The real issue is that I just think my stock crank is neat-o. The arms are long to match my 63 frame and it looks period correct, I don't want a real modern-looking crank. My old stuff matches and makes it more theft-deterrent. It's called "Signature" and it has a signature on it--it's just cool but I guess it needs to go.
thanks for the info, though. You definitely called it. I'll search around, maybe there's a more reasonably-priced one out there.
>>974082this looks like a triplizer but wrong BCD for me and the bolt-holes where the small ring goes are different sized? but thanks, I'll look more at this site.
