Most SunTour FDs work just fine as triples. The Mooney used a Cyclone, then MII for years. City bike uses an AR. The Superbe that comes with the Pro Miyata works just fine. Small-small and small-smallish combos often have the chain dragging on the bushing SunTour uses to close the bottom of the cage so I just remove it and replace with a stack of the smallest washers that fit over the bolt. (I usually make that stack shorter than the bushing to improve shifting onto and off the inner ring. More trimming but in my book, better shifting rules...
