Triple change from 42 ring to 39 ring
Okay, I have an Ultegra triple set up on my Orbea Starship. It has the
standard 52,42,30 chain ring group. I wish I had the DuraAce 52,39,30. Can I simply swap the middle rings or do I have to get a DuraAce FD to handle the difference? How about front shifters? Ultegra okay? Gary |

DA may work a little better. |

Someone else can answer about merely swapping the rings, but FWIW my Ultegra triple FD handles my DA triple crankset (which replaced a nearly new Ultegra triple) just fine. Ultegra shifter works perfectly well, too. Bill "had money burning a hole in my pocket, but not THAT much" S. |

Gary Hi, not that it really matters, but the DA triple crankset comes with a 53-39-30 chainrings. Your shifters are fine and FD should work. Give it a try. Life is Good! Jeff |
