[RBW] Re: Converting a stock Clem from 2x8 to 3x8?

2017-07-16 Thread LLM
Thanks for the feedback!

So the bike came with the Riv Silver crank.  Compared to the vintage 
cottered cranks I've wrestled with, it looks like the Silver will be a 
piece of cake!

@James, thanks for the gear size details.  Your experience reinforces my 
sense that changing to a triple will be a win for me and my Clem.

@Drew, I wondered about the chain sizeI'll give it a try as is.

What brand chain rings would folks recommend?

according to the Riv brochure, the current setup is:

CHAINRINGS: Steel. 38/24, chainguard.
CASSETTE: SunRace 8sp 11x34.
FRONT DER: Shimano Claris.

My understanding is that I should be able to replace the chainguard with a 
chainring.
I have the original SunRace thumbies in place, but have a set of Shimano 
Ultegra BS64 Double/Triple 8-Speed Bar End Shift Levers in the wings.
