[RBW] Re: STI 10 speed with 24-34 as low
I've done 26t on the low end using ultegra 10sp triple cranks and sti levers (other rings stock for a 52-39-26). Had to put on a chainwatcher, as it would dump the chain about half the time, but otherwise with the watcher on, it works flawlessly. YMMV. Bob H.

[RBW] Re: STI 10 speed with 24-34 as low
That a very common set up for touring bikes and tandems. Works best with MTB dérailleurs, which I see you are using. I'm running that set up on my tandem with Campy 10 speed ergo shifters and an 8 speed XTR cassette. It works great. ~Mike~ On Apr 25, 1:10 pm, Bob H. bob.h...@gmail.com wrote: I've done 26t on the low end using ultegra 10sp triple cranks and sti levers (other rings stock for a 52-39-26).

Re: [RBW] Re: STI 10 speed with 24-34 as low
Yeah, campy ergo would be better. Now that I know you can get it to index right with Shimano in the rear, I wish I went with that set-up for the trimming that Campy gives you in the front. Oh well. -Jim W. -Original Message- From: Michael_S mikeybi...@rocketmail.com Sent: Apr 25, 2010 1:53 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: STI 10 speed with 24-34 as low That a very common set up for touring bikes and tandems.
