Bear with me, gang. Having never set up a bike for a tour, I'm afraid I have some silly, basic questions. For starters: I recently came into a Stronglight Mod. 99 triple crankset with "drillium" chainrings... I also have in my possession a Campy Record triple BB set-up. Can anybody offer any info as to whether or not these two might be compatible? Will a Campy front derailleur potentially work with this set up as well? And now I'll show my real 'noob' colors...: Is it common practice to use a triple AND a 'Rally' rear derailleur? Or is the Rally more commonly used in tandem with a double and a gear cluster that is broad enough to accomplish a decent gear range? Muchas Gracias, Matthew Bowne Brooklyn, New York
