Has anyone out there swapped a Cannondale Hollowgram double crank setup to a triple on a CAAD 6 frame road bike? We have serious hills around here and I like the close ratios plus the granny gears that a triple setup provides.
I know this is a straightforward swap with Shimano bits but will changing the Cannondale chainring spider to a triple, fitting the longer triple crank shaft and swapping the front/rear derailleurs also work with the Hollowgram items? I'm particularly concerned about clearance between the inner chain ring and the rear stay or other potential gotcha's.
If it is do-able then I'll get the parts for Christmas, if not I'll put the money toward gym work to build better leg muscles
Thanks.
