Someone offered me a very nice Phil, but it turns out to be a Ti model and thus costs more than I should spend at this point.
I am looking for a good quality one, preferably a rebuildable one (rebuildable by me or rebuildable by the maker) instead of a disposable one. A SunTour grease guard model would be very nice! So would a used, steel, and cheaper Phil. Even a high end cup and cone would be acceptable, though I'd prefer something relatively well sealed. And a little Serendipity: just re-discovered that the cheap Shimano cartridge bb in the Apex frame is ... 127! So I have something to start with. Segue: Am debating whether to keep the current 44/40 gearing, but with 28 granny instead of 26; or whether to simplify, give up some mid ring bottom end, and use a bash guard, 40/28, as below. The wheel is 28 1/2" in diameter, and the most commonly used gears, for the flatland bosque riding that this bike mostly sees, are in yellow. *44* *40* *28* 15 84 76 16 78 71 17 74 67 18 70 63 19 66 60 42 21 60 54 38 23 55 50 35 26 48 44 31 30 38 27 *40* *28* 13 88 14 81 15 76 16 71 50 17 67 47 18 63 44 19 60 42 21 54 38 24 48 33 -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.
