Here's a second to Michael's comments about 12 tooth difference vs 10

Bottom bracket was changed too. Went down to a 107 at Mark at
Rivendell recommendation.
Ray, see you at the Birkie this year?

Mike,
I did almost exactly the same thing with my Saluki.
I have DT Silver shifters and there is no noticable
difference between ramped/pinned vs. non-ramped/pinned
when shifting.
Don't forget to change the bottom bracket.
When you go from a triple to a double you wont need all that spindle.

Here's a second to Michael's comments about 12 tooth difference vs 10
or 14. I'll bet your triple has 46/36/26 or 24. I'd be inclined to
ride the 48/34 combo before changing things. Don't forget the other
end of the drive train when thinking about ring changes. A 13-30 or
32 cluster would be ni
Thanks for the offer of assistance Michael. I did start to explore
gear ratios and my head just started to spin. What I know is that I
like the feel of a 46. The triple I was running before had a 46 and I
liked it a lot. I also had the 46 on the Ram although with different
ratios. I'm using the 46
Here's a link to Sheldon Brown's gear chart that might also be
helpful.

Have fun.

Why 46/34 rather than 48/34? If you lay out the ratios in a chart,
you will quickly se that the 48/34 has more consistent jumps between
gears with a simpler shifting pattern. If you don't know how to lay
this out, I can help you. A difference of 10 between rings
consistently yields a single step
Yeah, I'm totally realizing that. I still ended up cannnabalizing my
Rambouillet but I'll get that back together soon enough. I'm looking
forward to riding the Hilsen this weekend with a double. I'll probably
move the shifters to the DT.
Also, I looked again on the Riv site and noticed that it's

If you are skilled enough to use Silver shifters, the ramps/pins won't
make any difference.

No, I should have mentioned that. Silver shifters. Thanks!
