Thank you
I changed from the FSA tandem crankset with a 52/39/30 at 170mm to a Shimano Ultegra 6603 Triple but mounted the timing chainring in the outer position, used the 52 from the FSA and imported a 36 stronglight from Mark at Precision.
The timing chain needs a 1mm spacer in each crankbolt as the chains are just too close for comfort and I added a 1mm spacer on the inner 36 too to get a little more space to stop rubbing on the 52 when the cassette is on a smaller sprocket.
Overall I'm very happy with the conversion.
