Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

Why yes, I don't need or want many cogs myself which is why I have stuck with 6 and 7 sp. freewheels. Combined with 2 or 3 rings I'm good. BTW, you mentioned your gear selection Patrick, which can *also *be done with half-step gearing +/- a granny, which I really like. It has the 5-6" gear

Ok, here's the deal. The entire hub is *inside* the freehub, and the wheel is a three-spoke carbon design mounted all to the left of the hub/freehub/cassette, kinda like those one-sided swingarm designs on some motorcycles. It could work! (it probably won't work) -- You received this message

Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

Frankly, in my case, I don't need more than, say, 5 cogs total, even for the sort of climbing I do. Gears of 85", 75", 70", 65", and 60" would let me ride comfortably, on pavement, on all but 1 ride in 10; and adding a granny ring as you have would take care of that. Drop each gear by 5" and it

Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

I agree that it's probably a doctored up photo and just a prank. Everything about it - from wheel dish to this electronic shifting business - would seem an unlikely if not impossible concoction. Having said that, and turning back to the subject of shifting for a moment, I just completed a

Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

Proof, if more proof is required than just the funny-ness of it: Ask yourself: what sort of dish, and what sort of rear OL spacing, would this require? And the Q factor! Regarding razors: http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-11056 On Sat, Aug 19, 2017 at 8:58

Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

Actually, with computer controlled electric shifter, there's no reason why you can't get almost 30 serial, incremental gear steps simply by pushing a single button and letting the electrics double shift 3 rings and 11 cogs as required. I agree that a good part of the fun of riding -- of pedaling!

[RBW] 21 speed rear?

Regardless of how many, corn cob cogs(1 tooth steps) are just not necessary, not even pro road racers use them anymore. So I suspect this is intended as a joke of some sorts also. or it is one now ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

This could only work with a very accurate electronic shifter, and quite possibly a fully automatic one. It's is for people who ride in a total cadence world. Maybe it's something about stiff bikes that makes one desire this. But my hilly bike world is a lot more dynamic, and I think more

Maybe a chain styled after the Cannondale Lefty fork, i.e., link plates only on one side with extra narrow rollers attached. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

Re: [RBW] 21 speed rear?

It would need a special chain for that, thin and will break easily when shifting in addition to the shifters. What kind of shifters would work except friction and be able to dial it in perfectly. On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Wayne Naha wrote: > Supposedly, this is a spy

Supposedly, this is a spy shot of a SRAM 21 speed cassette. I thought it good for a laugh, I mean, it can't be serious. Kinda reminds of those razors with five blades.
