I turned a 46-36-24 XD2 into a 36-24 XD2 by removing the outer ring and
adjusting the throw of the front derailleur cage; worked just fine. Later
swapped the 36 for a 38 and added a guard in the outer position, but didn't
change the fd height. Continued to work fine.

Another problem to keep an eye out for if you don't use an outer ring
at all, is that some front derailleurs may not have enough adjustment
in the outer limit screw to keep the chain from falling off the
outside. I think most derailleurs won't have this problem but it can
happen.

The problem is that the guard is for 44t coverage so it will be way larger
than I need and result in a larger looking crank which I am trying to
avoid. The New Albion that Rivendell sells comes in a wide low but the
large ring is 40 and I assume the guard is around 42 or 44 like the Sugino.

You could also remove the large ring and don't use anything in that
position. Replace the double chainring bolts with single chainring variety
for the 36t and so you have just the 24/36 alone.

I'm getting a vibe that people feel like the Leica III is more fragile than
it is. Granted, I don't know which model Philip has. I haven't heard of a

up) is always more of a problem because the viewfinder and rangefinder are

If I am understanding things correctly I could also get a Sugino triple,
remove the outer ring and install a Silver chainguard. It should mount
properly to the Sugino and they have a small guard designed for a 34-36T
outer ring. Then I would not need to buy new bolts and it would only be

Spa Cycles sells a double with a chainguard, looks Sugino ish.

You were able to make this happen without any mods to the frame? No chain stay

What size rings are you talking about? 36t-26t?
I've done it and didn't even replace or move the front derailleur down at
all, which gives a gap that does look a little weird. I did cut off the
teeth of a 49t larger outer ring to act as a guard, and eventually replaced
the 36t with a 39t for a
Yes I agree that is the simplest method! The main reason I would remove it
is because I don't use it and prefer the look of a crankset with small
rings. It's a visual thing for me.

On my QB I have 42 chain ring and an 18 cog, which works very well on the
flats and mild hills, so I would think your combination should be fine.
Did they repaint the whole bike? Looks great either way.

So I posted a thread looking for a crankset because I didn't want to spend
a ton and didn't feel like piecing one together. The New Albion wide/low
has different gearing than the old Sugino one and what I really would
prefer is a low/low gearing but at the Sugino price. Then it occurred to

Unfortunately, just sold the very last one a week or so ago. Thanks for

May reorder at some point soon.if there is interest.

Phillip:
I’ll answer in more detail when I’m back at my computer, but here are some
bullets points:
1) I would urge caution carrying your Leica in the bike. Leica are rugged, but
your iii is probably 50 or so years old, and the internal workings of the
rangefinder will be its Achilles heel.
Thanks Dave. I shot you a message. Yes removing the large ring would leave
36/26. It looks like Roman at Riv did the exact thing I am talking about.
I am just not sure if it is as simple as removing a ring or if there is
more I would have to do.
For what Roman did you would need shorter "track" style chain ring bolts. I
googled $22 for Sugino at Ben's or $8 shipped for generic on ebay.
You might have to experiment with F derailleurs for optimal placement.
Maybe a shorter cage double road derailleur or an old Micro Drive front
would
I would hardly call a Leica III fragile. It’s a brick of brass that could

with the strap over one shoulder and under the other armpit. Most of my cameras

It's even simpler: don't ride the outer ring, consider it a rockguard with
teeth, and a "holy smokes this is a wonderful 10 mile gentle descent with a
tailwind that never happens" gear. Grin. But yes, nothing fancy. My QB has a
single front chainring on its stock triple, leaving the two inside

In search of a Quickbeam either complete or frameset. Thinking a 64 or 66

Hi Erik, lime Chris’ question, do you know how much wheel cm you gained going
to 650b? What what was your wheel diameter before and after?

Sean & Chris,
I didn't have to dimple the chainstays, but I did have a local builder add
canti posts at 650b height. I will say that the clearances are tight both
at the fork crown and the chainstays, but there's about 3-4mm of space left
in both places. I haven't measured the actual tire
Thanks for the info. I tend to agree on not stressing the Leica. I do like
carrying it, but maybe not on the bike. My old Sony Nex with a CCTV lens
might be a better bike camera. Not film, but still fun. If it broke, it
would be a good excuse to upgrade.

jandrews,
Sweet! You're gonna love it! A few thoughts to keep in mind:
-- not sure the clearance on the S1 v QB silver, but while I could fit a 44
Snosqualmie on it there was little tire clearance in the rear axel forward
gear, and that's without nobbies.

Yes full repaint while they were at it
