Middle chainring on Campy Record triple crank

[Ted]

I have a Campy Record triple crank with 30/42/53 chainrings. I see that there is a Campy Record
triple that comes with 30/40/50 chainrings. If I were to get one of the 40 tooth chainring and put
it on my crank, would this work?

Thanks, Ted

yep, the shift from the small to the middle, middle to the big may be a little more sluggish,
particularluy with pedal load, but it'll work.

It will work perfectly if you put a Dura Ace triple front derailleur on. That derailleur is very
specific to 53/39/30. I bought one for my tandem, 52/42/30 and needed to change the 52 to a 53 so
that the derailleur could get high enought to not tick the 42. I didn't use the unit but do have it
for sale. I can ship it to you and if it is not perfect, you can send back. You won't even have to
buy a ramped 40 to get great shifting. A 39 will be easier to find.
