Hi Patrick- Thanks for the compliment! The bars are the Nitto 177 (aka the Noodle).
This is my road-gravel-singletrack bike hence the need for same wild gearing. Its a 38 in the front and a 10-42 in the back. I don't use the 36 and 42 tooth cogs very often but when I do its usually on very steep and loose terrain. These bailout gears can be a life saver! My other bikes are vintage road bikes so they use traditional gearing...53/39, 13-25, etc. The tires are RH Snoqualmie Passes (700x44). They are great!

One feature that is strange to me (that is a statement of personal feeling, not a value judgment) is the small ring and the huge inner cogs. I grew up with 52/42 and 14-24 5-speeds. What is the size of the chainring and the large cog? What is the small cog? RH tires, but I can't make out the model; can you say? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
