Thanks Steve. I'm not seeing the ramped/pinned ring on the Rene Herse website. Also, are your index or friction shifting? Would it matter? Cheers, John On Friday, January 24, 2020 at 9:02:45 AM UTC+5:45, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > As I may have indicated in this discussion, I used the Herse trip

As I may have indicated in this discussion, I used the Herse triple with non-ramped and pinned rings for 1,000 miles before the experiment.  Shifting was fine.  Better than I'd ever experienced with any Shimano ramped and pinned rings. Good enough I really did not believe any meaningful improve

Thanks Jeremy. I appreciate the input from your experience. I guess my question now is how critical the ramps and pins will be to smooth shifting with this range of rings and a triple derailleur. That's the beauty of tinkering with bikes- experiment and iterate. Cheers, John On Friday, Januar

As Steve's experience suggests, I think that 48-36-24 is close enough to the chainring gaps on "standard" triple cranks that you should have no problem running a road or mountain triple. I run exactly those chainrings on a Sugino XD crank on my Rambouillet, and it shifts perfectly with a 10-spd

Anybody here have experience with Rene Herse triple cranks paired with a triple front derailleur? It is recommended that one use a 'double' front derailleur with a Rene Herse triple crankset as 'Triple front derailleurs have stepped cages that work only with specific chainring combinations.' A
