I'm working on a new Hilsen and have a Dura Ace RD-7800 GS 9/10 speed
rear derailleur. Is anyone on the list using this with Silver downtube
shifters and a Phil Wood Rivy hub with a 7-speed freewheel? Am I stuck with
a 9-speed cassette configuration? I'm looking at my rear wheel options...
There are more knowledgeable people on the list who can correct me but I
believe that a 7 speed chain will not work with a 9/10 speed derailleur and a
9/10 speed chain will not work on a 7 speed freewheel. If you wish to set up a
7 speed bike I think you will need to find a different rear
It'll work. I'd recommend a skinnier chain (9s), but there should be
no problem.

Brian,
I have used 8/9 speed chains on 7 speed freewheels. The only shifting
problems I have are the rider induced ones.

I use a friction bar end shifter to run a 7 speed D-A freewheel on a Rich
Lesnik built Phil hub. It works like a charm. The wheelset was on my
Rambouillet for a while, but has moved over to a Nashbar. I noticed that an old
Sachs 7 speed FW was too wide to work (chain up aginst the chainstay in
Just use a skinnier chain (9-speed)

Title says it:
I'm looking for a good-condition used rack; either R14 or Mark's Rack.
Also looking for a Sugino crankset with chainguard, as comes on the Rivendell
Quickbeam.
Please reply off list if you have any of these that you'd like to sell.
cheers,

I've been a bit curious about the dimensions of Nitto Rando Bars as of
late. Different websites list them with differing amounts of drop-
some as high as 138mm, some as low as 120mm. A couple of questions:
1. When drop is measured on these bars (or an others for that matter),
are is it

My day off today, I was out the door before 6AM with my new Son
Schmidt hub lighting the way through town. It was in the 40s so I had
on woolywarm arm warmers over two jerseys, a nylon vest, Ibex tights,
and full gloves. I was on my favorite bike, a Curt-built 2001 custom
road
Nice report. I got my Redwood out for a 40-mile trip to a neighboring
town (Stillwater) on Saturday. Birds singing and frogs peeping and
things turning green practically before our eyes. Jacket and gloves in
the morning, just a longsleeve wool shirt with MUSA pants on the ride
back. Lovely.

Thanks, folks. I'll be running a 9-spd chain with this setup, so I'll see
how it plays out. The front derailleur is a Dura Ace 7803 to match the
Sugino triple. I'll hopefully order the wheels soon so I can get this
going.

The 650b Rivs have particularly slack HTAs. Why is that? The
(generally) wider tires? Just curious. Thanks.

My son has a Romulus he purchased about six months ago. Several weeks

Interesting theory rc, have you experienced this?
To the OP: What are the number of speeds, types of shifters and
brand / size of chain?

I haven't, but I'm trying to think of what could cause the same
problem to repeat itself.
