Can I use a standard FD if I change from a 44-32-22 to a 48-36-26 ?
Hi All,

I have a Cannondale Caffeine 3:

http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/07/c...odel-7FS3.html

which came with a SRAM X-7 RD, LX FD, and a 9spd 11-34 cassette. I don't go offroad much and am considering swapping the crank for a trekking crank of 48-36-26. Will my FD be able to handle it or not. If not what are my options with regards to the FD ?

Thanks,

J.
