changing chainring possibilty??
I have a 2001 Cannondale T800 touring bike with a 9-speed rear sprocket (11-34) and a Cannondale Performance chainring (30/42/52). Now that I have hit my 60s and have more time to tour but legs that aren't what they used to be, I'm thinking about getting a smaller combination on the chainring. I barely use the largest ring, and on many long climbs with a load, I often wish I had some lower gears to drop down to. I just replaced my chain and sprocket this spring (simple wear). Is it possible to have a smaller chainring combo installed without changing everything else on the drive train? Thanks rcd
