Thanks for the tip J. I run my drop bars very high so I can be in the drops most of the time. I tried the Paul adapter but didn't like the fact the shifter was

Thanks for that endorsement of the crankset. My 1x11 parts are Shimano XT which is also pretty affordable. I think I'll keep the 2x10 running until after I'm finished with my 200 miles on 10 bikes challenge. BL in EC On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 3:53:04 PM UTC-7, Keith Muller wrote: > >

Bill and all, I've been really pleased with the M30 Crankset. Definitely a great option for your MTB. After some riding. The gear range is more than appropriate for the riding that I do. I think the Eagle GX is a great budget option for people, but there are fewer hub options because of

I'm relatively new to the group, and as such may have missed a past thread on the topic - but what are the benefits to a 1x setup? They seem to be rising in popularity, yet at first glance it seems limiting and expensive. Is the rear wheel dished more? How does that effect longevity? Is it

That is awesome. My Jones has an XT 1x11 kit and I love the triple/friction setup on my Hunq but the application for the Eagle seems real. On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 7:54:10 PM UTC-5, Jay Connolly wrote: > > I've been tempted to put the Eagle groupset on my Jones, but lately I've >

I've been tempted to put the Eagle groupset on my Jones, but lately I've spent all my money on Rivs. The new Eagle GX will be in out in the fall, I think. Jay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Keith: Somehow I doubt you'll miss the top gear. Given the 500% spread on the cassette, I'd be tempted toward an even smaller chainring, but that's from an old guy who has been known to push his bike up hills. Be interesting to hear about the longevity of the chain. dougP On Wednesday,

110 gear inches is plenty for most people. Jan is a stronger rider than 99% of people, and he claims he has never been dropped on a descent due to not having a high enough gear, and his top gear is 90 gear inches. 48x14. By my reckoning you lost nothing by losing your 123 inch gear. You
