Went and looked at the XD set that came stock on my Rambouillet. The chain
rings are indeed ramped. I replaced the 48 with a 50 a few years back. The
50 is plain, not ramped but it shifts fine.

Yeah . . . . what's been said. . . just wipe it down after each ride.
I'm at a point where I don't want to do chain maintenance at all, other
than replace them or wipe them . It just seems, well, archaic. We're in
the year 2014 and we're still resorting to soaking chains in toxic

Garth: I really over paid at $14.95 a chain! I got three at that price. Plan to
change them out every 1000 miles. Now that I have the super-nice Rene Herse
crankset and also very nice SRAM 9-speed cassette. Not sure which model but it
has a solid red sleeve for the six largest cogs. Really
Another bike to possibly consider are the city bikes from Brooklyn Bicycle
Co. I hadn't heard about this earlier, but apparently Grant P. is on
their board of directors and possibly had a hand in the design of their
bikes.
I'm really liking those Brooklyn Bicycle Company bikes. Good price point;
reasonable design; fenders/chainstay protectors included; they're not
feathers, but a young healthy woman should be able to carry a 28 pound bike
up a couple of flights of stairs.
I was going to recommend them to my niece

I get what you're saying by factoring in the price commitment, but what I was

Bill,
The main problem people have with their chains is that they wear, and if
you use them when too worn they ruin your chainrings and cogs. Sounds like
you have had this problem. The chain doesn't need to be clean so much as it
needs to be lubricated. It is also better if you don't wash grit
Thanks Ted. Now I'm going to open the can of worms! What do all of you out
there consider to be good chain lubes? I have used White Lightning
(didn't like it), Tri-Flow (like it, have some, is this a good one?), T9
(have some, not my favorite, seems to attract dirt more than the others)

Their sizing chart starts at 5'-5. Seems like a size small is in

These are 9 speed chains? If so, does anyone know if these KMC chains shift
and track as well as SRAM chains? I use the relatively cheap ~$20 SRAM 9 sp
model.
It has been a long time, but I seem to remember that KMC chains I used for
fixed were more noisy than SRAMs., but then these were probably
A recent thread on this list discussed the virtues of chain saw oil; one
virtue being the low cost. The thread discussed the dirtiness of chains so

Patrick, from what I have read about KMC chains online, in reviews and
such, is that they work as well and better than Sram chains. I too have
used nothing but Sram and before that Sedis, but KMC these days is a very
good if not better option.

I listed this bike a short while ago - I had a buyer and he had a change of

tips, seat and chainstay
New condition. I am too clumsy with the double TT to not grab it instead of

it one day. $25 shipped obo. Thanks!

My guess would be no. Non-clip/click pedals rely on a reasonable amount of
compression in the bottom of the shoe to create a bit of 'bite' on the
pedal platform. I suspect a clipless-design shoe would be too hard and slip
