Hi all,
I have a 1985-ish Campy Super Record crank set on a road bike. I have just
started riding this bike again after many years, and I am not as fit as I
used to be. I need lower gears. I got a 26t freewheel on the rear, which
helped some. That is about as big as I can go on the rear, while still keep
the SR rear derailleur. What I'd like to do is get smaller front rings, now
at 42/52. So a couple questions...
- What are the smallest normal rings I can put on the front? Could be a
Campy-copy if that works better.
- Is there a way to go even smaller, without making it a triple? Like some
kind of adaptor plate that would take a 32t ring, or something like that?
TIA,
Chuck Connell
