Matching Deore DX Crankset?

[Croydian]

Hello people, I've just bought the following cranks for our tandem. They're Deore DX. Could Anyone suggest a triple chainset to match and make a complete tandem set? We're not racers so a normal 42/32/22 set would be fine and it doesn't really have to be DX as long as they're silver and a similar shape.

DX was never made in compact drive, so you won't get a 22/32 ring set - matching would be 24/34 minimum.

There were some DXs NOS for sale last week - right hand (drive) only as a single. If I remember right it was from a shop clearout in Holland.

Alternatively, mid 90's compact drive ones (like LX/XT from 1994-1996) are very similar with thickish crank arms before they went to the exotic hydroformed shapes.

FWIW I have a RHS 1994 LX 175 available, PM if interested.

Whatever you do (speaking as a tandemist myself) make sure you get a steel inner ring. The two of you will rip the teeth off a trick alloy one in no time.
