Not sure of goals. I started commuting after setting up the bike as a smooth ride. It is more fun than I anticipated but I have lost low end gearing and wanted to finish configuring the bike with the option of loaded touring. Thus the idea of changing the triple. But for commute the 52 is almost too small on way home, it's a bit downhill and it's fun to fly.

22 would work. Thus, the 22/38/52 might work? The 38 is the most workable ring for the commute.
