No, man....that wasn't the answer I was thinking of. It has to do with brifters being road spaced and your use of three rings on an mtb crank. According to the post, the third/outer ring is problematic, if at all doable, while the inner and middle rings are good to go. It has to do with the center to center spacing of a road crank vs mtb crank chainrings.
