Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

Your triple crank, being from that era I suspect it has a road triple crank with a 52T big ring. And probably cup and cone bottom bracket. The bottom bracket should be re-greased if it has 1980s vintage grease. Most of us now tour with a big ring no bigger than 46T.
