[RBW] Re: Single Chain for Your Long-Stay Bike

This is a great option, but once you buy two chains once, then save the excess, then you only need to buy one more chain for quite a lot of intervals thereafter. How has your experience been running the 11spd chain on 9-speed cassettes, if any? On Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 8:00:57 PM UTC

[RBW] Single Chain for Your Long-Stay Bike

If like me, you have a longstay Rivendell and have some minor inconveniences with the luxurious ride it provides, I have good news! Most of the Shimano 11 speed chains (which shift great on 9 and 10 speed drivetrains, and last longer than the 9 and 10 speed chains) can now be bought at 126 link

The biggest surprise I'm awaiting is the color of the bar tape. I'm expecting pink (or at least light red) and white splash. Maybe you should start a lottery for the build specs instead of a flat charge. He/she who guesses the bestist wins the mostest. On Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 4:08:1
