Thanx! I see you are GT fan, the bike in question is a Zaskar LE 1995. Do you think a 46/34/24 will clear the chainstay and still be able to align decently with the 9-speed cassette? The present BB is BB-UN52 113 mm, I'm not sure what BB to use to FC-M952 if I go with that, still 113 mm? I'm pretty new to "restomoding", I bought the bike this way that is 3*9 with 42/32/22 front ones, more or less XT on everything (M750 and M760 with M8000 hydraulic brakes), but I'm "upgrading" to M952 (shifters SL-M952, derailleurs RD-M953 and FD-M953, brakes BR-M9120). Hubs/rims are SunRingle red-anodized looks pretty cool with SunRingle carbon rims, fork is a German-A Xcite X-Ray partially carbon. Aheadset from Ritchey and also stem, seatpost, bar and barends in some sort of carbon from Ritchey. Crank is the nameless one on the pics (Psychlewerx or Psyclone I was told). Your post helped a lot but it did not make it easier to make up my mind, go with XTR cranks and the correct rings for the FD-M953 or stay with the nameless one and try to find correctly sized chainrings (would 46/34/22 or even 46/32/22 work?). Sorry for all stupid questions
