Re: [RBW] FS 62 cm 2022 MIT Atlantis 4100 OBO

Actually, there is one more candidate in the long-pull drop bar brake lever category: Dia-Compe 287V levers. I have a pair. Rivendell has sold them recently as well . I suggested to Grant that a market exists for a d

When I was in Santa Fe it was more of meandering van trip, not too much bike riding. My partner and I van camped at the ski area outside town (not in ski season). And also near an amazing hot spring in the Santa Fe National Forest, that area was incredible and definitely enchanting. We spotted

Even using the 36t with a 11-32 doesn't really help though combined with a 48t big ring. If you used a 36/44 instead however, here's your gears, https://www.gear-calculator.com/?GR=DERS&KB=44,36&RZ=11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32&UF=2280&TF=90&SL=2.6&UN=KMH&DV=gearInches You have a split between every

Re: [RBW] cassette advice?

Thanks all, I had not tried that gear calculator, but was using another. This one is nicely laid out. My thinking seems like it will work. Basically, I currently use the 48T and end up between the 16 - 18 - 21 a lot of the time on faster road rides. I'd like to have more gears in between these

Re: [RBW] cassette advice?

Also in your case I wouldn't worry about duplicate ratios, if you ride like me on the flats you're going to mostly be in the middle ring and just run up and down the cassette. The low and high front rings will see very occasional use. Is my guess. On Tuesday, December 27, 2022 at 1:26:44 PM UT

Re: [RBW] cassette advice?

I don't see any non-obvious issues (unless I don't see it cuz it's non-obvious!), you're keeping the triple so still need your long cage derailers. I'm not sure you'll find a 13-28 9-speed though*, most I've come across or can recall have an 11 or 12t final cog. There's 12-27 9ers out there whi

Thanks everyone, Just to clarify, my goal is to add some additional steps within my existing range. I often find--especially longer rides with constant winds--that I don't have quite the gear that I'd like to sustain my pace. My plan is to just base things off my current setup and the gear cal

[RBW] Re: Roller-Cam brakes

James, if the picture you attached is the actual bike you're looking at, those are the nice ones. You should have no issues with those brakes. They work great, they take normal brake shoes, and there are plenty enough of them for spare parts (although they're pretty well built). Good luck! G

[RBW] Re: cassette advice?

My only advice is to run your proposed chainrings and sprockets combination through Sheldon's gear calculator or something similar, to make sure you don't have a bunch of redundant gear combinations. To me, the only reason for having a close-ratio cassette is to be able to have more incremental

Those can be great brakes. You're fortunate that the posts are located on the seat stays. Most often they are on the bottom of the chainstays and are difficult to work on just because of lack of space. There are two slightly different versions of those sun tour brakes, with one generally being

Hi all, I'm thinking about changing up the cassette on my Hillborne this winter. I'm currently running an 11-32 (9sp) with 48/36/26 in front. I've moved to the midwest, and now the closest thing I see to a hill is a freeway overpass. I'd like to try a more compact cassette, thinking something

This isn't a Rivendell related question, and for that I apologize, but ya'll are the most bike-savvy people I "know". I see a lot of value in a cheap, knock-around, lock-up-anywhere bike, so I have my eyes on a local Schwinn High Sierra. It has roller-cam brakes and I have know experience wit
