Bikes: 87 RockHopper,2008 Specialized Globe. Both upgraded to 9 speeds. 2019 Giant Explore E+3

I think I had the same crank on my 86 Rockhopper? IIRC, it took more like 122 or 127??
Memory is too foggy.
Can you get it to shift off the chain in either/both rings if you back off the limit screws? You "should" be able to if the shifter has enough throw.

BTW- "mountain" FDER's use a different cable pull than "road". I'm ignorant about "road" stuff, but I wonder if a bar end (road) shifter has enough throw to move a mountain triple the full range needed?? If designed for a double only????
