I have Sugino triples on both my road bikes. One has a 26T and the other 24T inner. Pairing these Suginos with a Phil Wood square taper bottom bracket is a killer combo.JerryMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-54172832205232976092014-01-21T17:53:24.343-07:002014-01-21T17:53:24.343-07:00I frequently ride a Nishiki with a half-step gear ...I frequently ride a Nishiki with a half-step gear setup.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-62974993620634514052014-01-21T16:23:33.728-07:002014-01-21T16:23:33.728-07:00The Volpe came with a 28 granny and a 32 cog.

It has been modified to a 24x36 which is 21 gear inches and a bit better on the uphill when loaded. A 24x36 returns 18 gear inches so swapping the granny is this winter's project.<br /><br />VelobenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
