What gearing do you want in the end? What would be the tooth count of your 3 rings and what would the cassette range be?
Jan Heine has forgotten more than I will ever know about cycling, but I disagree with only Shimano chainrings can be used with a Shimano front derailleur on triples. He is, in the end, running a business. That article ends with a well worded plug for how his products dont fall victim to the typical road triple issue of poor chainring selection. Not saying he shouldnt be trusted as he has a lot of data to back up conclusions he writes about(especially when it comes to wider tires, which again he sells), just that perhaps he is sticking to the official stated limitations when actual use shows the limitations arent accurate.
