Pretty sure I played with the middle section of the cassette to optimize cruising in the 16-17-18 cogs.


Did you use the outer bolt holes and take off the inner smallest chainring? I think the inner BCD on older shimano triple cranksets were 74? I do have an older Shimano XT triple crankset on an old mountain bike I could try.
