BD, want to trade? My double Campy R/NR cranks for your triple? I do live where there are a few hills.

I kind of doubt the NR RD will carry that much difference between the 36 small and (is it a 53 or 54) the big chainring. That's a 17 or 18 tooth jump which requires almost double the chain length that a typical 42 small - 52 big, 10 tooth jump, that a double requires.

I rigged my NR RD to work on the Continental with a 15-29 tooth freewheel (which is a big stretch for a NR), but I only used a 42-47 in the front. I cannot, however, shift into the big-big combination.
