The hole in the chain ring looks as tho the ramp pin is missing, I had the claris 2400 double shifter, and will only operate a double, although the needle will go over there is no ratchet pawl to hold it over, a double shifter has four positions (3 clicks on operation) 2 for the inner ring and 2 for the outer, a triple shifter has a six positions (5 clicks on operation) also the triple and double has a different throw ratios
edit if you disconnect the front derailleur pull on the cable and operate the shifter to count the clicks

I think the 34 stands for 3400 series I am looking at my old one, though it has different preceding numbers
L
L4
34

So how come the Sora 3400 works with both triple and double.

 

[Big_Dave]

Are they tourney shifters?

 

[Torvi]

sorry meant throw on the fd

 

[Torvi]

so what do you guys think, should i do a rant at local halfords? will they fit me a proper crankset then or is it a lost case?

 

[Nigelnaturist]

I don't think you have a case, other than maybe the ramp rivits.
I am off to bed.

I can have a lower gear than that even with a 12-23 cassette 26x23=29.7" 34x28=31.9" and the joys of 12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23 problem is I dont have one

I go down to 34x28 = 33" (35mm tyres) - I think Nigel that if at some stage I really want to tackle some of I will first go to a 32T cassette. I have RD5701 which can do that.

That would get me down to 28.9"

And then I would look at a triple at some stage - I rather fancy a carbon flat bar road bike with a triple and discs. A little dream of mine!
