I did it on my own back in 2008 using a 24-40 and the QB pantsguard. I had it on an Atlantis. I didn't keep it there long, because I missed the big ring on rides to the trail. (I didn't miss the big ring on the trail though.) I went with 24, because I really don't want to sacrifice the low.

Re: [RBW] Daring to wrench on my Riv's?

2014-12-07 Thread James Warren
