Subject: [CR]RE: smallest chain ring on Campy 144

Having just bought my second Campagnolo 36t chainring in less than a week ($10 no less!) we seem to have skipped over the fact that Campy did do a tripple with a small inner ring that was not attached to the 144 bcd holes but to a set of drilled 100 bcd holes on the spider itself.
     other alternatives would be to drill to one of the current bcds for a more complete range of rings.
     more alternatives would be a tripplizer ring which attaches a second ring to the inner 144bcd (I have a Merz version which does TA cyclotourist down to what 26T)
