So, I tried the Crust towel rack (narrow version) and it gave me neck pain but the 50cm Simworks SoBar (basically a 50cm Noodle) works beautifully for me; a 48cm Nitto Noodle is the closest still-available option. I have somewhat broad shoulders for my size but I'm not a big guy, so normally

Best gear combination for me (Sierra mountain region) is a 46x30 on the front and a 13-34 or 36 7 speed on the back. I get the 7 speed cassette by taking apart a 10 speed cassette and putting just 7 cogs on the hub (my rear hub is 120mm). It works great with friction, and with the 120mm hub, I

It'll be interesting to see what cog sizes the 13-42 has. I imagine the 13-34 will be the same as the old Shimano (13-15-17-20-24-28-34, IIRC). Matched up with a 24-36-48 triple it was an excellent, wide range, easy shifting drive train. I also enjoyed his discussion of triples in the
