Re: [RBW] Gearing Choices

I admire how the entire build hinges on a rear derailleur that looks good, first and foremost, and everything else will fall into place after that. ;-) BL On Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 12:59:37 PM UTC-7 Ted Durant wrote: > On Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 9:54:49 PM UTC-5 Bill Lindsay wrote: >

Re: [RBW] Re: Long Chainstays - What Problem/Deficiency Do They Solve?

None whatsoever. First you have to take into consideration the whole frame design! Builders like Pino Moroni liked that the rear wheel did not move in fast skittish situations, especially downhill. On Thu, Apr 4, 2024 at 5:49 AM ascpgh wrote: > The U Factor >
