Jags,

Your Stronglight Impact has a 110/74BCD, which accepts the widest possible range of chainrings. Pretty much anything you might wish for can be accommodated.

Good news!

Best,

Dan.

Anto

remember your front mechanism may be a more significant  limiting factor than ring availability, particularly if you are running STI or similar at the front.

I'm currently playing with 22/36/44 to give plenty of midrange combinations and super hillclimbing. Works ok with bar end shifters.
