Dear Sam,
1. No.
2. yes, or the gearing consistent with a 30T rear cog, anyway.
3. yes, but why do that to yourself unless you're looking to make a
half-step system work well, esp. given that 8s cassettes fit your rivendell
freehub anyway, and they're easy to friction shift? Or, if you're
And if that's your intention, the 7-speed K cassette (13-34) half-steps
with 44/48 chain rings.

I like to go where the mass market is, because it's where there's the
highest efficiency of scale and least expensive parts. For me at the
moment, that means 9 speed. 8 speed is not any less expensive, so I'll
take the higher cog count. 7 speed is rarer these days, and rare doesn't
meet my
Does Phil Wood still make a freewheel hub?
Royce still makes an FW Hub

Definitely as good if not better than Phil Priced around the same.

I would certainly be interested in a lighter Rohloff with less gear range.
Just I think much of the market for that hub is looking for
I know that Jan found a new Rohloff to have considerable drag in at least
certain gears. Can anyone say how the drag compares to a good derailleur
setup, once the hub's inwards have been worn in?
I too think that a lighter, perhaps lower-drag, Rohloff quality internal
gear hub would be worth a $K
My Atlantis in roadie mode had a 12-23 cassette,

Remember Campy triples ?, ahhh micro ratchet front shifters.

I am remembering one of my favorite bikes... a Raleigh Super Tourer (1976).
It was a Raleigh Competition frame, with upright North Road bars, a 5 ring
cluster in the rear, no front der... a delightful town cruiser: 531 double

Thanks Steve. When I first saw the link got all excited only to realize
the linked blog entry is from 2012.

cassette. I use an original Deer Head Deore rear derailer with mine. No
problem with it shifting into the
Actually, I'd be happy with a 5 speed internal hub.
Imagine it would be hard to market, but I imagine a modern Rohloff or
Alfine quality IGH with the weight savings of 5 speeds.

Yep Steve, scroll down their hub page a bit , it'll say :
Phil Wood offers the following types of hub:
- ROAD, freewheel and cassette rear options
- TOURING, freewheel and cassette rear options
- TANDEM, 6-bolt disc brake and drum brake options
- MOUNTAIN, standard and 6-bolt
ps, '77 Raleighs came with a 14-35t 5-speed, and I hated the thing because
every step was a cliff.
My first rebuild ('79) was around a Zeus/Rigida wheelset with a 14-26t
5-speed, and I liked it much better
2. Was anyone riding 30+t cogs back in the day? Seems like sub30 was the
standard.
I'm with Patrick in that I prefer single-tooth jumps in my cruising range
but I also prefer a wide gear range and a 1x drivetrain so that pretty much
requires a 9-speed or higher cog.

5 speed ? Maybe , but 6 , definitely. I like others here still recall
when 5 and 6 speed was the normal freewheel . I never felt out of gears

I don't know about sub-30, but a 5-speed with a good range would be fine in
the hilly area I live. I tend to skip cogs on 8- and 9-speed cassettes
because the small jumps are useless to me.
