I'm putting a triple crank on an OLD 10-speed (the kind with 5 cogs in
rear and 2 chainrings), and moving to a 6-speed hyperglide freewheel. I
never use big gears so the 52 or 53 tooth ring is a waste of aluminum;
I'll probably use a 45 or 46 as the big ring, with a 38 or 39 middle and
30 small (reconsidering the inner based on recent comment about going
smaller at front and getting rid of the big cog in rear).
Are ramps and pins on the rings critical in this setup? Do they just
make for smoother shifts, or do they prevent some sort of disaster that
is lurking 'tween the rings?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
