Question - Purchased a Mirage triple crank (son has the identical bike, his has the triple, mine came with the double...), do I need to replace the 111 BB with one that has a longer spindle or will the 111 work with the triple? Additionally, is the the Avanti front derail adjustable to accommodate a triple?
Thank you in advance! So glad to have found this forum.. first time really tearing into a bike and definitely need all the advice, tips and wisdom you all have to offer here.
Hi,
I have no specific experience of the triple rodie myself, but I think Campa didn't accidentally offer the 115.5mm BB at the time along next to the standard 111mm. Expected, that the chain line is being moved, even if you can mount the triple on the 111mm (which I strongly doubt). FD and RD were also offered separately for the triple. In these facts the total capacity has significance. At the FDs are 22(3) vs. 15(2). I don't know, but obviously other forms of guides solved this problem. I do not know that your mixed system can be used with reduced services or total collapse. Obviously others will comment later, who have specifically encountered this problem.
