Aligning chain on triple front chainring and 9 gear rear cluster.
I am wondering if I have set up my drivetrain properly. I have
positioned the front triple crankset so that the middle chainring is alligned with the 5th (that is the middle cog) on the cassette. Is this the proper way to set up the drive train? Also I noticed today that I get a clicking sound when in the middle chainring and smallest cog. Any idea as to what might be causing it. Thanks in advance as always. |

According to Barnett's Manual you've done it right. See
http://rideitbent.net/pdf/barnetts_ch27.pdf. However, for a touring bike I view the smallest chainring as something to be used only with the 3 or 4 largest cogs at the rear, and align the two larger chainrings as if they were a double, with the midpoint between the two large chainrings centred on the cassette.

Peter- I am wondering if I have set up my drivetrain properly. I have
positioned the front triple crankset so that the middle chainring is alligned with the 5th (that is the middle cog) on the cassette. Is this the proper way to set up the drive train? BRBR That is correct... Also I noticed today that I get a clicking sound when in the middle chainring and smallest cog. Any idea as to what might be causing it. BRBR Chain 'tickling' big ring??

BRBR Don't agree..,I think on any triple, you ought to align the middle ring with the middle of the cogset to allow use of the middle ring with all the cogs. If you align the middle of the cogset with mid point between the big and middle, middle/smallest cog use may be limited.
