[RBW] Re: Friction 1x11

2021-01-11 Thread Adam in Indiana
I’ve been using 1x11 for a while, in both friction and indexed. I use an appropriate Microshift lever with a Shimano SLX clutch derailleur, and it works flawlessly. I started it out as a bar-end, but now have it on a hydraulic Gevenalle setup. On Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 1:24:37 AM UTC-5

It can be tricky to get the headset right. This may be partly because of the spacer used on the Clems with a traditional 1" headset to get more stack height from the fork steerer. Based on your description of the bike's behavior, I would suspect a headset that is a bit too tight. On Monday,

Perhaps this point is obvious to some but it just occurred to me. A manufacturer must design the bike for intended use (touring, racing, etc.) so that's one major influence on tubing choice & geometry. For production bikes (as opposed to customs), the design must also address maximum load,

If you are going to talk about the flexing of a Rivendell, built from fairly sturdy OS tubing, I think going from a 59cm 700c diamond frame to a 52cm 650b diamond frame will affect flex characteristics more than strapping a pipe to the top tube. Extra weight can definitely induce flex, but
