road triple
 
Hi hope all are good... I would like to know if anything one can tell me if a Sun Tour Superbe Pro front derailleur can be used with a triple crankset...

thanks for any and all help.

I think it would probably handle a triple okay, dependent on what size the rings are in relation to one another. I use an old Suntour Cyclone on my touring bike, and it handles a virtual half-step plus really small granny gear (52-48-22) quite well. If your middle ring is drastically smaller than the large one, this may present a problem and you'd probably be better off with a "mountain" type derailleur.
