Curious: What's been your favorite all-round drive train on your riv(s)? I was a big fan of the Sugino 46-36-26 tripple, but wanted a narrower Q-factor, and never used the granny ring. I now use a 44/30 x 11/32 which is nice in some ways, but I don't get the super smooth shifting I got from the original (on my 2009 Sam). In fact, i've never gotten better shifting than the original Sam setup.
I like the idea of Riv's double, but it's a wider Q than I want, and with the big ring at just 38 teeth, I deem the top end to be a bit lacking for the type of riding I do. I've thought of using their Silver 44/34/24, but again, it's a wider Q than I want, and I would hardly ever use the granny. I've got indexing on another bike (Shimano 105, 11x28), and it shifts flawlessly, with a narrow Q from the Velo Orange 46/30 cranks. I'm not interested in going indexing on the Riv, just a data point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
