That's what confused me. This company makes granny rings, but doesn't offer ramps and pins until you get to 46T. Now I'm starting to think maybe they intend them to be for 1x mountain bikes and not triples.

So, anyone know where I can get a set of 50/39/28 (or close) chainrings for a triple? 130BCD.

Eh, people sometimes misunderstand or don't read questions fully before they answer. Pretty sure I've been guilty of it before, so I'll just gloss over it and move on.
