My Sam came as a 2x9 with 26/38 rings on a Suguino XD2 crank, and a Claris FD. I went to 3x9 with 26/36/46 by replacing the bashguard. The Claris FD was NOT capable of handling the 3x. After trying a number of things and learning a lot about FDs and chainlines, I went to a Shimano Sora FD-3030 for the front. It may be a “road” FD, but it works perfectly. Good luck.
