[RBW] Would you go back to a 5-speed cassette if you could?
I believe my '72 Sports Tourer has 14-34 freewheel and 54-40 rings. Each gear seems to be the right space from the last one. It feels just right. Chromed steel twin-stik shifters on the headset, 700x35 tires, centerpull brakes. Riding it makes me happy. My experience would not improve if a cassette replaced the freewheel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The original 5sp freewheel that is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Would you go back to a 5-speed cassette if you could?
I've owned at least on SunTour 14-32 5 speed freewheel, and, I think SunTour even made a 5 speed with a 36 t big cog. I've no use for 5 or 6 speed cogsets. I love ss/fixed, but I'd rather have 4 or so close ratios in my cruising range, which means 1 tooth jumps, so that a decent range means at least 7 cogs with a double. OTOH, I happily ride a 27 to 30 t big cog off road with a 24 inner.

Seems like sub30 was the standard. 3. Could I use Compass Cycles' 5 and 6 speed cassettes on my Rivendells with enough spacers on the freehub to make up for the extra space? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Seems like sub30 was the standard. Yes. My 1972 P15 Paramount came with a Regina Oro freewheel with a 30T large sprocket, and after the LBS destroyed that taking it off, I switched to SunTour freewheels, all of which had a 32T large sprocket. 3. Could I use Compass Cycles' 5 and 6 speed cassettes on my Rivendells with enough spacers on the freehub to make up for the extra space? Why would you want to do that? If for some reason you had a 7, 8 or 9 speed cassette and decided you wanted to only use 5 of the sprockets, there are two cheap and obvious ways you could do that: 1) ignore the others, or 2) lock them out with the derailleur range adjustment screws. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
