I just got my Hunqapillar back from the painter last week, and today my LBS
installed the headset, BB and crankset. I decided to install the stock Riv
26/40, although may go down to 24 in the future.
The thing is, the Phil BB had to be shifted to the right all the way, with
the left side flush
Yes, I do think you want a slightly longer BB when you switch from a triple
to a supercompact double.

I know quite a few people are going nuts over uber wide cassettes and two
rings so maybe they are on to something. Either way steel rings are a good
investment. I purchased Surly stainless rings (4434) and they work fine on
my triple with a steel 24 tooth.

I call this sort of gearing subcomact and like the switch to 38/24 on the
Fargo (from a 46/36/24 triple). I lose some of the intermediate gears but
have the same range and, more important in this case is that when moving
from smooth, flat surfaces to sandy, hilly surfaces I don't need to switch
Whoops! I mean to say that I moved it to the RIGHT a couple of mm.

You mean shorter, right? -- and that only if you use the outer and middle
positions. If you simply remove the outer, there is no need for a new bb at
all since normally a middle ring is centered on the cassette already. (In

Will they accomodate 34 or even 36 to cogs? I've never used one.

I really liked how the gearing worked out when I set up a 110/74 double on
my CB-O townie bike. I set it up similar to the riv quickbeam cranksets
with the blank chainring in the outer position. Go for it! I bet that
crank setup is going to be really nice on your Bomba

I've run the 40/26 in the past. Short answer is that it's great
configuration. Enjoy it.
A few more data points... FWIW...
I run a 36/24 (steel/steel) on my Big Dummy... 26t is fine on my Homer but
the 24t comes in handy when the load gets big. 2t makes a difference.
For reasons too long and
Thanks for your input everyone! This was totally helpful. Got the bike
back on the road today and it is awesome. Went with the chainring guard, a
40t and a 24t all from Riv.

I keep threatening to set one of my bikes up with this sorta wide-range

From what I hear you can use a regular road double derailer. It makes a lot
of sense for commuting, rambling and even touring.
As for rings...
Re: chainline.
You normally try to center the middle ring on the cogset when you run a
triple. so with a 9 speed cassette, you'd line up the middle chainring
with cog #5
If your 24/40/chainguard setup is going to be ridden as a 1x9 plus granny

Color me slow or weak or whatever, but when I ride my bombadill in the
open spaces its more like the small ring is the default and the 40 is
just for downhill. That said I still think the chain line is perfectly
acceptable without a longer bb.

24/40 worked fine on my bombadill. Same size gap as the common 34/50
compact.

Riv's version is 26/40. Don't know why they didn't go to 24, but my guess

With my Bombadil a 24t ring is as large as I could go with needing a longer
BB using a 110mm Tange. And yes SS is the only way to go for the
small rings.

I always thought it was odd that small rings were al and big cogs were
steel. Seems like if you don't want al cogs for 25 teeth you would
want steel rings for the small (say 36) rings. Same # of teeth means
same load, same wear, very similar weight.
