I'm finding this discussion of 3 speed transmissions pretty interesting, to
the point where I'm leaving the chain on the middle sprocket in the rear
and just shifting the three cogs up front. It's a nice experience. You have
to bear down and grunt sometimes, and sometimes you spin out, but you
" an ideal half-step setup… and you start back down the rabbit hole"
I've got a developing build concept that will feature a 12-14-17-20-24-28
cogset in back. I've got a 130 BCD crankset for the conceptual build which
has 53/42 rings. I ran the numbers for 42/45 and 42/46, and I think I like

Bad Sunday morning math. 13 teeth of chain wrap. Even better

If you build one of each and offer the comparative ride report, I'll be
pleased to read it. I still have the gear chart in front of me the last
time Patrick Moore offered the theory that three gears in

But I keep coming back to theoretical efficiencies: IIRC, the gearing
effect of tooth jumps in back are more or less double what they are in
front. So the question is, how to get just 2 or 3 big jumps in back without
a IGH.
Quickbeam came with 40/32 chainrings. The fork ends were long enough to
cover the 8-t difference.

We had a similar conversation back in February and, among the topic
discussed was, why 3X1 instead of 1X3? Bill pointed out that commercially
available 3 speed fws of good quality with huge tooth gaps are hard to
find, whereas anyone can find a triple crank.
But I keep coming back to theoretical
With your 7402 "tensioner" you could run a tiny short cable, such that
twisting the barrel adjuster pulls it from the 17 to the 19. I run that
setup on a different bike.
I'm summiting mount Diablo once a month, and I'm plotting which month this
summer I ride my 3x1 Romulus. Maybe July.
Nice Paul wheels! Good luck with it

It’s funny because they just released more details including a “probable” pre sale in June. A month or two back they announced the lugged Susie presale. The next day there was a guy on Instagram riding his lugged Susie!! Had to be a prototype or sample, right?I really want to “commit” but need is
Committing to yourself is the first step. Stating it on the RBW Group is
legally and morally binding, also, so that's step two. If you wanted to
get really committed, email Will and see if Will is able to take your
money, or if Will already knows you, you may be able to convince him to
agree

I've had a Melvin in my parts stash for years that's looking for a reason,
so this build kind of appeals to me. But, out here in the flatlands, I
don't really need three super widely spaced gears. With my
cruising (normally fixed) gear of 44x17, maybe something like 44/40/36,
about 10% jumps. Hmm,
