Thanks everyone for all the information. Fortunately, I also know Ken Lo and am going to talk to him about his setup. I never thought to talk to him, which I guess just makes me unaware!
Good to know that Shimano chainrings need a different bolt because most of my rings are Dura Ace. I have some old superbe pros and am hoping they work. I am trying to keep the cost of the conversion down to something manageable. As you get to be an older Master, and living on a fixed income, expense begins to be important!
