I just returned home from riding down the California coast, Sugino triple up front and 12-36 in back. I rode the middle ring for most of the flats, rode the granny gear pretty hard around Big Sur, and was very thankful for the big ring on slight descents and the glorious 20 miles of hard

As far as I'm concerned, every bike is a single speed , ya' can only ride one gear at a time after all . No one says ya' gotta shift if ya' got more , and no one says ya' don't :) More isn't any less complicated than less, and less is no more simple than more ! There's only the One .

I switched the conventional 46/36/24 X2D setup for a 38/24 and I have most of the range and easier shifting. I've set it up for largely flat but sandy terrain, where with pavement a range from mid 80s to 40 is ample; the 24 takes me down to 25 for the very occasional steep hills like those I rode

I'm on my own custom compact double using the same setup, 42/25T. I have a 9-speed rear, Miche custom cassette, designed so all my steps are 5-7 inches, total range is 23-90 inches. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Viner/aP3150002.jpg no triple has anything on

Drew, on my Hunqapillar I have removed my front derailer and have a middle narrow wide 38t chain ring and a 24 granny. I am nearly always in the middle, and simply view the big chainring as a rock guard. I figure I'll ride this crank till it is done, then get a doublewide to replace it,

Hi Jim, Yes, R10, - isn't it beautiful? It's working great on a 29 for 40 and 23 gears. I used the Ultegra CS70 up front, and it makes the 17T step beautifully, perfectly, smoothly, also, though it's rated for 14. On Thursday, April 2, 2015 at 12:25:22 PM UTC-5, Jim Bronson wrote: Is that
