[RBW] Re: A couple of mech questions: chainsuck and a noisy BB
Doug: I'm getting it mostly on the granny ring, sometimes on the middle, with the rear derailer on the smaller cogs. Almost exclusively on dirty, so probably fairly bumpy. Granny on the smaller cogs means not much tension on the chain. Shift to the granny big cog, and note where the RD cage is and feel the chain tension. Then shift out to a small cog you'll see the cage swing way back to take up the slack. Feel the chain tension. It will be a lot less. Then try the same observation in the middle big rings. On the big you may want to forgo using the largest 2 cogs as the chain tension gets high and the angle kinda extreme. IME the combinations of the granny the 3 or 4 largest cogs is fairly reliable. By the time you're out to the middle of cluster, it's time to shift to the middle. In the middle ring you should be able to use all the cogs reliably. What I've found (the hard way, of course) is I'd climb a steep hill on the granny big cog, go over the top, shift up a few cogs for the downhill, bounce around a bit the chain would either fall off to the inside or get sucked up against the stay. A more experienced rider suggested shifting to the middle ring once over the top so as to put some tension on the chain for the bouncy downhill. dougP On Feb 17, 6:25 am, Paul Yeoh rawfoodcuis...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks again to everyone for your replies.

Whatever the reason, in the last 12+ years, I've used DA and Campy rear hubs and NEVER had a problem. While adult male weights have gone up over the past 40 years, they have not gone up to the point where one can say that freewheel axles are always at risk. That said, C-Record FW were notorius for their weak axles. Paul is not Campagnolo. All things being equal, cassettes should be the first choice for a new frame. The Jono is by design for people either restoring an old frame of making a new wheel for an old frame they do not want to alter to fit wider cassette hubs. Time will tell, but given my experience with other Paul products, I expect the Jono will fill this role admirably.

Best bet would be to find an old stem shift clamp that uses the same bosses as the current production silvers. I've even thought about trying to retrofit downtubes to my Sam, without brazing bosses on.

So admittedly I am not the best person to talk about run of the mill FW hubs as MaxiCar are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to longevity. Still, I accept that in the day there were plenty of hollow axle hubs that got the job done. That's interesting. Now when I think back, I never had a NR rear axle break, only the C-Record. I wonder what was the difference. I've read conflicting theories in the past but never anything real well written. Maybe Eric Norris can chime in. I posted a question about the difference between NR and C-Record fw rear hub on another forum and here is one excellent and plausible explanation: Functionally I think the two hubs are equivalent, however the main difference is the width of the dropouts, the over locknut dimension. Since the C-records were used on bikes that had 7 and sometimes 8 speeds, they frequently had over locknut dimensions of 130mm. At 130mm, the bearing on the hub drive side is pretty close to the wheel centerline! So there's a bending moment on the axle and a stress riser at the inner edge of the drive side cone. NR axles were usually set up for 120 or 126mm over locknut. And of course, a heavy rider with a powerful sprint will put far more load on the rear axle than a small rider. The quest for more rear cog speeds is part of what led to the cassette hub which has an extra bearing at the end of the axle, near the drive side dropout.

[RBW] Re: Paul Jono Hub
Back in the 1980's (before the big layoff from cycling) used to regularly bend and/or break rear freewheel hub axles. Usually low level Shimano or Suntour. Including Suntour XC. Back then my weight was about 190. My low tech solution - replace the cones and axles with nutted solid axles. Cro-mo. The mild steel ones would bend also. This was on early mountain bikes and the 130mm hub spacing seemed to be the culprit. Have not had a problem with a cassette hub. Have also not had a problem with my Phil FW hub on my Sam Hillborne. Even when first getting back on the bike, didn't have a problem with cassette hubs although my weight at that time was around 350 pounds.

[RBW] Re: Paul Jono Hub
I don't know if it's solely about the over locknut dimension. Except for most Shimano cassette hubs, all other cassette hubs also have the right side bearings (that supports the hub body) very close to the centerline of the axle. Shimano has a patent on attaching the hub body to the freehub and putting the right side bearing on the right side of the freehub itself, thus transferring the load as far outboard as possible. The other manufacturers (Campagnolo, Mavic, to name but two) have essentially the freewheel hub design, except in place of an unsupported freewheel, there is a freehub body usually supported by two bearings. These two bearings only support pedaling forces and you can even remove the entire freehub body without impacting the ability of the wheel to carry load. So what this means is that all except pedaling loads are still supported by a left bearing that sits very close to the left dropout, and a right bearing that sits very close to the centerline of the axle. There are advantages to the new design though. For example, the axles tend to be larger and they are usually only threaded at the very ends. Big, most unthreaded axles surely must be stronger than smaller axles with a long section of stress-riser threads.

[RBW] Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne?
I plan to mount a dyno headlight to my fendered V-brake Sam, probably an Edelux or IQ Cyo. I will drive it with a Son 28. A front Nitto mini-rack and frequently mounted small Sackville bag constrains the desirable fork crown mounting position. The best but less elegant mounting options seem to the the Albatros bars near the stem, front or side of the mini-rack, or the forks. Suggestions about mounting site and hardware are invited, including what is not recommended.. I have visited Peter White's formidable site, but there is no substitute for specific solutions for a specific problem.

Re: [RBW] Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne?
I mounted a light to a little curved bracket sold by VO (I think) that bolts to the fork let rack mount braze on. It holds the light down and for'ard. It wouldn't be hard to home-make such a bracket, either. And there are, I think, other brackets that bolt to a rack -- I've not used one. Finally, not to my liking, though, there are short cylindrical mounts that bolt to a dropout eyelet and Minoura makes one that clamps where you like along the fork leg. See 'em all here: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/lighting/dynamo.html And the cheap dynohub is marked down to $35.

Re: [RBW] Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne?
Ought to say that VO designed the first mentioned bracket for rack mounting, but I mounted it to the mid-forkleg braze on on my Sam Hill.

[RBW] Re: Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne?
I would try the Gino light mount for the mid-fork braze-on (or rack mount) or one of the skewer-mounted versions that Patrick noted.

[RBW] Re: Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne?
Did you say you currently have a front Nitto mini-rack? How large is the Sackville bag? Does the bag extend out beyond the rack? If not just mount it to the front of the rack like this - http://www.flickr.com/photos/neutralbuoyancy/5219194791/in/set-72157607896493013/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/neutralbuoyancy/5219195115/in/set-72157607896493013/ On Feb 17, 12:01 pm, Bob prov...@umbc.edu wrote: I plan to mount a dyno headlight to my fendered V-brake Sam, probably an Edelux or IQ Cyo.
