Patrick: I dunno if you've achieved your goal "...to make the perfectly accessible into something more complicated,...".
One has 12 different gears and the other 11; doesn't seem too meaningful a difference, as long as you've got the range you want. Assuming you'll use the same 36T & 24T rings, and that they shift OK now, seems like a simplification if anything. Your proposed 9 speed looks nicely progressive. Heck, just stick on the 9 speed and ride it for a while before bothering messing with the crankset. A couple of turns of the FD adjustment screw & you've got a double. dougP On Mar 29, 7:39 am, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > In a frantic attempt to make the perfectly accessible into something > more complicated, I ask whether the 2X9 gearing below I propose for my > (very Rivish in philosophy if not Rivendellianly lugged) has any > drawbacks compared to the current 3X7 setup. > > Current: > > (Big Apple wheelset, 29" diameter.) > 46 36 24 > 16 83 65 > 18 74 58 > 20 67 52 > 23 58 45 30 > 26 51 40 27 > 30 44 35 23 > 34 31 20 > > Proposed: > > 36 24 > 12 87 58 > 13 80 54 > 14 75 50 > 16 65 33 > 18 58 33 > 21 50 33 > 24 44 29 > 28 37 25 > 34 31 20 > > Thanks. > > -- > Patrick Moore > Albuquerque, NM > For professional resumes, contact > Patrick Moore, ACRWhttp://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
