Teeth, BCD, Speed is all you need. You may need to fashion something to hold the lock washer thingies in place if you don't have the correct tool.0

Thanks. Do I need to buy a triple specific outer ring or any ring with the 130 bcd and the same number of teeth ?0

When I rebuilt my triple (52-42-30) I just bought the rings of those sizes, to be fair I used the old 30 and just replaced the outer two as the small one was ok.1964johnr said:Thanks. Do I need to buy a triple specific outer ring or any ring with the 130 bcd and the same number of teeth ?
To the best of my knowledge they are not triple specific, if it helps I just bought the rings without even contemplating if they should be triple specific and they work fine.
I would add there will be people with far better knowledge than myself but it worked for me.
Another avenue to try is a complete triple set up in your desired size. I bought one as a stop gap on my winter bike a few years back and it is still going strong. From memory it was circa £19.99 but they are what they are, a one piece use it and bin it when it wears out. Also wouldn't cut the mustard with people who are weight conscious!!
Edit. Bankrupt Bike Parts has quite a few triples going relativity cheap depending on the size of your rings.0 -
