... hmmm say that 3 times real fast.

Rookie question...Other than the difficulty in finding alternate chainrings for a shimano road triple crankset (yes, I understand, see Peter White Cycles)... is there much involved in swapping out said chainrings?


Suppose you are going from a 53/43/30 (whatever) to a 48/38/26:

1) I imagine the front deraileur would have to be lowered on the seatpost?

2) Does the chain need to be shortened?

3) What other adjustments?

Really, I guess I'd just like to be pointed to a "primer" on doing crankset/chainring
changes.

Thanks
