Are you Spider Man on a bike , you must be able to cycle up the side of a building on those gears ..

On the other hand, the advantage of running a triple with a small inner ring is that you can have a reasonable close ratio cassette, because nobody in the world needs, for example a 26-42 ratio.

Edit: Since the OP has been deleted (and to give context to the surviving comments), from memory Guy had a triple (?50-26 chainset) and a ?11-42t cassette which he was rightly pleased to have got to work.
Guy must be doing this as a nugatory fettling challenge. For me that large/large RD cage angle is lower than I'd be prepared to contemplate: the chain needs another link (1"). What is the spec'ed capacity of that RD @GuyBoden ? Are you suggesting that 'any' long (86mm c-c) cage RD will cope with this?
Have you used a zip-tie to route the gear cable outer that way? Why not a larger radius curve?

Yes. Yes they do.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!

did you delete it or did the Mods? I'm not happy either way, there is always room for polite debate and differing views.

@GuyBoden sorry you felt the need to delete, my comments were certainly not meant to be negative.
I like reading the gear fettling/ adapting threads, because I can see an idea I can use or adapt.
……………………….Then pass off as my own invention .

Hands up the CycleChatter who doesn't like a bit of nugatory fettling. Surely getting comments on a post means people have read and considered it. And the chain does need another link to ride that combo safely up. We all deplore the idea of large/large but sometimes sh1t just happens (more likely in the dark).
