I'd also like to use SRAM's setup with the big 42 bailout gear in the back if I were to have no shifting in the front. Heck, I'm running a triple now on all my bikes though, I think going to a wide range double would probably be something I would want to try first before going to a wide-er single. With my triple I tend to shift multiple gears on the back cluster pretty often, making me think that I could easily handle a wider range casette in the back, and also only two ranges in the front. But cranksets aren't free, so for now I am sticking with what I've got as it works well enough. Only real problem is that the Riv tends to either toss the chain off the top or the bottom, no matter what I do. It's done this with 4 different cranksets and many, many chains. I think maybe it's a function of the geometry of my extremely large bike, seat tube 69cm C-T and TT 64CM. -- Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
