Retro-<< When setting up triple on a bike that previously had a double, what is the "preferred" alignment of the chain line ? Does the center of the rear cluster align with the center chainwheel as a preference or starting point ? >><BR><BR>
I say-that is correct and you should have full use of the entire rear cogset n the middle ring.

I have often wondered about what is considered cross chaining when using the middle ring of the triple. I have a nine speed and I use the center five cogs with the middle ring. I certainly can use all the cogs from the center ring and have by accident occasionally. What would you recommend for cog usage with each of the rings of a triple.
Thanks, Lincoln

I answer-if the middle ring is aligned with the middle of the cogset. That is, a line from the middle ring and the middle of the cogset is parallel to the top tube...Big ring first 6 cogs, small ring biggest six cogs, middle ring all of the cogs. genearl guiode. If you are cross chaining outside of this, generally go to another ring up front.
