Some short drop/reach handlebars I'm assuming you'd want a 38 or 40 width. The Dajia at least suggests a removable face plate stem because it may be difficult to maneuver the bends.

Just the rivvy ones John, they were special made fro Riv. The regular Touring fw hubs are solid flanges. PW would have to be contacted as to their availability. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

I have SUNXCD rear derailleur, shifts to 34t. Silver and nice and lightweight. A bit pricey, I think microshift also makes a good rear derialleur as well. One of the best purchases I've made is the Rene Herse crank sold by Compass. Expensive, but durable and light! On Wednesday, July 19, 2017

Yeah, the CX has two problems I should have anticipated. 1. My chain is an NOS Siedisport designed for 5/6-speed clusters, so is extremely sensitive to adjustments. 2. The depth of the inner cage plate, although much less than a MTB front, is too deep for the three-inch difference on my

The Grand Bois spec is interesting. As with them, I use the Microshift rear derailers and Microshift bar-ends, they work good and the bar ends are half the cost of Shimano units. The RD-47S is the short cage, the long cage is RD-47 with no S on the end. It's available in shiny silver and is

In defense of the Ultegra CX70 FD, the cage is designed for a max ring size of 48T, and it works great on a wide compact double with narrow (9s) chain. On Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 8:53:48 AM UTC-5, GAJett wrote: > > Nice to see I'm not the only one running a Jubilie on a wide range front >

Lesli, I still build basically with 8-, or 9-speed parts and friction shifters, although new Shimano road RD (105, Ultegra) can shift up to 32T now. I have several spare 9-speed LX/XT RD (standard or reverse pull) and a Suntour XC Pro FD if you need them. You can still find 9-speed Ultegra

With a bit of lurking, it's possible to find old White 'tincan' hubs for about the same price as midrange modern Shimano; cheaper if they're sold as "for parts" (I picked up a couple of tincans for ~$25/ea and was able to rebuild them with another ~$15 in parts.) If you're looking for old

For a long cage RD, I suggest a Deore M591, 9 spd with ample chain wrap and less than $40. RD are very inexpensive compared to 20, 30 years ago, so why use old mechs when you can get technically superior RDs now that a inexpensive. I agree with the beauty of high flange hubs, but VO is the
