Re: [RBW] Odd New Bike (HS)

2011-12-06 Thread Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery
You certainly COULD set up this bike with an IGH, but it appears to have 
all the usual provisions for a rear derailleur (DT shifter boss, chainstay 
cable mount). 

IMO, people buy IGHs for all the wrong reasons - i.e. the mythical 
no-maintenance drivetrain that tends to appeal to non-mechanical persons. 
The truth is closer to the drivetrain not being low-maintenance, as much as 
it's generally unmaintainable, since small parts are generally nonexistent 
for all but a few hub models. Also, they tend to complicate routine fixes, 
like flat tires. Grant doesn't seem to like unmaintainable stuff.

Many people like them for the simplified shifting - no cog/chainring jumping - 
plus the ability to downshift while stopped. I am one of those people. My 
derailer bikes are swell, but I like my Nexus-hubbed Electra Amsterdam a lot.

I have a Civia Bryant w/ IGH.  I bought it as a winter/commuter kind
of experiment.  It weighs a ton, but th weight mostly disappears once
it gets rolling.  Shifting takes some getting used to.

I think Grant has something other than looks in mind here, but he's
also loving the conjecture-it's fun, who wouldn't.  I'm on the list
and I'm not an easy build (68-70cm), so it should be fun (famous last
words!).

I thought about this too, but it could be that the only horizontal
dropouts available for the prototype happened to have a derailleur
hanger. I noticed that there are downtube shifter bosses also. So, um,
I have no clue.

Maybe the One Big Option (mentioned in the original post) is derailleur or 
high end IGH (Rohloff or Alfine 11, both of which have sufficiently wide range 
to obviate need for front shifting, which the original post says the HS doesn't 
have); hence the seemingly contradictory horizontal drops and derailleur hanger?

 Maybe the One Big Option (mentioned in the original post) is derailleur
 or high end IGH (Rohloff or Alfine 11, both of which have sufficiently wide
 range to obviate need for front shifting, which the original post says the
 HS doesn't have); hence the seemingly contradictory horizontal drops and
 derailleur hanger?

 I'm not completely convinced about the carry strap being a slam dunk since
 the downtube thingy splits the two water bottle braze ons.  If that's what
 it is then you could run a strap OR a water bottle, but not both.

 I'm trying to take a clue from the horizontal rear dropout WITH a rear
 derailer tab.  Horizontal implies we're moving the wheel around, but the
 derailer tab implies we wont have to move the wheel around to take up chain
 slack.  I wonder...
