On Sat,
Steve, I noticed recently that qbp is stocking a new line of pricey freewheels
with lots of gearing options. I forget the name and I'm not in a place where I
could look it up right now. I don't know if that brand has the
interchangeability and customizability of old Sun Tour freewheels. But
Backing up Jim, I looked to QBP and they do offer a line of freewheels from
DNP. 7, 8, 9 and 10 speed freewheels (a 10 speed freewheel?!?!). All
with an 11 small cog. Aside from that, they have the standard Falcon low
end 5 speeders, the Shimanopores and the SunRace offerings. None of those
I think to a point you are right. However in my opinion everything
evolves. I am very happy with 9-speed stuff. I was also happy with my 10
speed stuff. The only reason I am on 9-speed instead of 10 is friction
shifting and chain life.
I know that the one tooth jumps in fast group rides
that's just it Kelly there is No One To Blame
Everyone is right in their perspectives.
We have all these speed choices, and that's a good thing !
