I know that I am pushing the boundaries of this thread to the breaking
point, but I also think that these tangents are fully sympathetic to the
general sense of this list in general and to Grant's own predilections in
particular. This current NYT article makes intelligent observations on the

That's a hard one, since they all shine individually.
The Appa with 650b wheels had a shorter wheelbase (45" for the 51cm) vs the
Platy 700c (47" for the 55). The Appa felt more "planted" and stable
(more like it was sure of itself), while he Platy has a bit more on the
"fun" side, a little

Sorry Garth, I couldn't resist. I like you, don't worry.

I've used 10 speed chains with 10, 9, 8, and single 3/32" fixed cogs -- no
problems.
Aside, related, fwiw: Bike Radar some time ago recommended (and I am sure
they were quoting earlier suggestions) using a chain 1 generation later
than your cassette; thus 9 sp chain for 8 sp cassette, and so on.
For a project I’m contemplating on my Hilsen, anyone have…
(1) Single or set of XT hubs. Would prefer 32h, 8sp (m737) or newer so that
I can use them with some existing rims and 10sp drivetrain parts.
(2) A vintage Ritchey Logic MTB crankset (with or w/o chainrings). Open on
length.

I'd like to understand better what you mean by this. I agree that, in

This bag seems like it would be a good fit given the clearance I have.
Does anyone have one they want to move along?
They are sold out at Riv.

Is there a reason this derailleur couldn't be used with index shifters if

from Shimano. I assumed that meant it had a 1.66:1 cable pull ratio, so

Rich,
The usability of 10 speed chains may have something to do with using
thinner cogs than what existed in the days of 7 speed cassettes and
freewheels.
I’m just guessing but it would make sense to use parts which are currently
available.

On my Bombadil I have a 12-36 9sp cassette, but only use the 14-32 portion
as I have 3 rings. The 36 is in a wonky position, too close to the spokes
for my liking, so I adjusted the derailleur to stop at the 32 and 14. If I
had to use the 36, I'd remove the 12t cog, and place a spacer where the

I'm the target market for these cassettes since my friction shifted bikes
use 7 and 8 speed cogs; for the time being though I have enough cassettes
and spare cogs. What piqued my curiosity was Grant runs these with 10 speed
chains - and 9s. Something I haven't attempted but maybe worth a go.
Michael,
That's a pretty Maruishi at a good price. Note the familiar "wings" on the
fork crown. Many of these nice Japanese bikes were never marketed in the US.
Best,

With a 7 speed you can run bigger tires on a Susie or Gus with less chance of
the chain hitting the rubber when going from small front ring to the big one in
the back. The website says they fit up to 2.8” tires but there is clearance for
3”. The deciding factor is the chain line.

I agree with Garth about the poor gear progressions on the 13-34 Jim. The
Shimano HG-50-K 13-134 is
13-15-17-20-24-29-34
which IMHO is much better, it avoids the 15-18 problem and has 2-3-4-5-5
spacing above 15 vs the Jim's 3-3-3-4-6 spacing. I used the HG-50-K on

Well, good luck Doug. You have a great bike for commuting and you don't

your wallet, and the planet. A win-win all-around I'd say. Starting with 1

I used to bike commute in Athens when I worked at the EPA and my wife was

because I could ride through the campus, instead of hitting all those
lights
