 another thought would be the small chainring ... are you running a 24
 or 26? You can buy a 22T ring for most triples.

Depends on the bolt circle.  24T is the smallest for a 74mm bolt
circle.

Re: [RBW] Re: 9speed to 8 speed cassettes

2010-02-01 Thread James Warren
24x34 is a really nice, really low low, even on a 700C dirt ride, but one of 
these days, I'll be putting on one of those new cassettes to get it to 24x36, 
especially on Atlantis. With this, I doubt I'll bother switching to the crank 
bolt circle that allows 22's.

Actually, my MB-4 has a 110 BCD mountain crank with a thing from the 90's on it 
called an Avid Adapter that allows me to mount a 20 tooth granny. I should set 
up that with the new cassette, and have a 20x36 low on the 26 wheeled bike! 
(14.4 inch gear.)

I have a 24T front right now, down from the 26T stock.  I could go w/ a 22
or even 20T as I have the small 56mm BCD available.  Big jump from the 36T
middle though.  I drop the chain enough as it is, and worry it would be 100%
with that combo...

Ted, do you see a link anywhere for the outermost lock cogs  spacers?

 I highly recommend Sheldon's oeuvre on the topic,

 In particular, go to the table halway down, which lists the cog and
 spacer thicknesses for everything through 10-speed.

Would it behoove me to buy something like this to harvest the 13T out cog
and the spacers?  I could get it all for $20.  That's the cost of the cog
itself from Harris.
