I have been considering a "triplizer" ring for some nuovo record cranksets. I understand that "Willow" and "Stronglight" triplizers are still available.
1. Can someone point to a picture of a crankset with either type of TA or Willow triplizer ring ?
Dale : It would be a good thing to have some of these pictures on the classicrendezvous site !
2. Are triplized Nuovo Record Cranksets worth it ?? I mean, the 42T middle ring is pretty large for a triple crankset, and the hills in San Diego are getting steeper every autumn.
A third option is to have triplizer rings made by "HighPath Engineering" in England. In fact, it might be a good idea to collect a bunch of "ring wants" and have them make a batch of rings for the Classicrendezvous crowd. Here is a price quote from them :
