Agreed, with one exception. I found the doubled stress on our tandem made
shifting rings significantly more difficult and have gotten much better
performance from pinned rings. Also I am pretty fussy about rings and

Peter White Cycles, peterwhitecycles.com, carries Specialites TA chainrings
in lots of sizes. They are expensive, but work well and are well made.

You could use anti-sieze instead of grease. It doesn't lubricate as much, if
you're worried about the bars slipping.

Curious: how many miles do you (all) get out of the Suginos? I assume you
mean the box-stock, garden variety Suginos like those on the XD2?
I am also curious about how many miles others have gotten out of steel
chainrings -- I will probably go with steel when I replace the 38 and 24 on
the Fargo.
My wife and I will be spending a few days in Wisconsin next month, mostly in
Milwaukee and Sheboygan, and I wonder if anyone has recommendations for
interesting, Riv-ish bike shops that I could visit.

I have only done 10 miles from BWI down towards Annapolis, but it was as flat

With the same stem, Boscos definitely get closer to the saddle. The Bullmoose

Sugino rings are 6061 aluminum and wear pretty fast. The Surly stainless
ones are nice and shiny and wear well but are heavier. They weigh about
twice as much as aluminum. A good compromise are the 7075 aluminum rings
that wear well and are lighter. While I'm not super bike weight conscious,
Yeah, there are times when I feel a bit apprehensive about riding around
the area on my decently equipped Rambouillet wearing jeans, sweatshirt,
aged baseball cap, etc. But then it dawns on me pretty quickly that few
people around here would recognize the difference between the Riv and a
Yellow Jersey in Madison...one of my favorite during the '70s. It Is on State
st, it is worth the visit although I haven't been there since th '80s.

I had an old man struggle to understand how any bike could cost more than
$200. He just kept asking what my bike does that they don't, and he
commented how I wasn't even dressed like a cyclist. To me linen shorts
and a white t shirt are perfect for riding.

I get the weight thing but seriouslyits not that much of a
difference in the overall weight of your bicycle especially if you include
your weight in the equation (as Grant says). If durability is a prime
concern in your drive train go ahead and get steel rings they will probably
Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee is worth a visit. I am not sure if they still have

I would not recommend yellow jersey. They have a large collection of
interesting parts but I have never had as rude a treatment in any store as
I had there. No vintage part is worth tolerating that kind of behavior.

That's because bicycles are toys. $200 for a toy?
Now in one real sense, bicycles are toys -- if cycling weren't fun, I'd
give it up in a minute. But they are not toys, obviously, in the sense of
trivial, frivolous, lacking in useful value.
$200 for a TV? For a computer?? For a effing iPhone?!!

I've only used ramped and pinned chainrings for a brief while, and didn't
like them. They were TA Zephyrs. The ramps protruded so that the chain
would rub using my 36t middle and the 13t small, seventh cog on my
freewheel.
As far as mileage on Sugino rings, I don't track my miles. My base
Salsa makes a 7075 chainring that is made in the 110 bcd size w/o pins or
ramps. I haven't used them myself. The only chainring I've ever worn out
was a 22T on a mountain bike. Super steep dirt trail climbing tends to wear
out the smaller rings faster which is why most of those are steel.
Sugino cranks and zoics shorts are sold
