I don't understand the mechanics of the issue even after Bill explained it cuz I'm not smart enough, but I can vouch for a 1x SRAM derailer being a little weird for a double. My Riv Custom has a SRAM Rival 1 with a clutch and 11-50 11-speed cassette. Started with a 34t chainring, I recently

Oh! And at least 2 studies have shown that 3 speed hubs (well, at least those tested, but I assume all use the same simple, basic 1-epicycle design -- because: why not?) are not only no less efficient than derailleur ones but ever so slightly more efficient -- in the 0.0n range. And you can

Messing around online I discovered that Shimano offers 3 speed hubs with rotor mounts and 135mm OL spacing -- interesting possibility. 32 x 20 with 30 1/2" wheel -- actual current measurement -- gives 49" direct, 65" overdrive and 37" underdrive (I am assuming Shimano uses the same ratios as the

There were also patches from the 20th & 25th. Perhaps also by biketinker. A 30th would be cool. dougP On Sunday, November 19, 2023 at 6:50:21 PM UTC-8 Bill Rhea wrote: > I went to the 25th anniversary campout at Sam Taylor SP and it was a BLAST > > Is anybody pulling together a 30th

The Force 1x rear Der handled things well in this setup, but I would say this is around the limits. The way these 1x derailleurs maintain the right gap to the cassette is there's a big offset from the pivot to the upper jockey wheel. It's less about parallelogram tilt. So the path the upper

Nice! How does that SRAM Force 1x rear der work on that set up? Wondered why one couldn't use it on a double or triple. Nice to know that it still works on 10 speed. Thanks, Reginald Alexis On Thursday, November 23, 2023 at 4:08:37 PM UTC-6 Bill Lindsay wrote: > When I initially built up my
