I'm upgrading an 8sp tandem to 10sp and I've kept the triple - meaning that I've not changed it - it was set up for the 8sp. And I've got the triple shifter working, but the shifting could be better.
Will I get more milage (better shifting) by replacing the FD, Chainrings AND/OR cranks/spider?
Current Crankset: TruVativ, 28/38/48 teeth
With an FD-5504 - This (AFAIK) is designed to work with
52-42-30
UPDATE:
Ooops - sorry. Forgot to mention that I replaced the FD - I believe it was for a 9 speed chain - if there's a difference
Shifter?Brifter is "SHIMANO ST-5703 105 TRIPLE ROAD STI LEVERS 10-SPEED"
Note: The FD looks a little high in this pic. It's not quite as high, but I've got slightly better shifting by having it higher than you would normally, and angling the FD tail into the cranks slightly.
