Haha, Justin, love it! Really, thank you all for chiming in. I like that the opinions are weighted towards simplicity... so I think I will keep my 2 x 8 speed for a while.
Joe: Exactly what I was thinking when wondering whether to go STI or not. I used to have Dura Ace 7800 on another bike. Bill: Yes of course, I am under no illusion that only training is going to make me faster - and I think it's there in my post, that I am constantly doing workouts / strength building. A Nostuh: True, I love the 7 speed on my Sam very much. Deacon, I rode nothing but a fixed gear bike (42 x 17) for about 2 years, some 10 years ago. I like it, but I think I prefer having gears nowadays, it just allows for more variation during a ride and I like that it is more forgiving, especially riding in unforgiving situations (Singapore roads) and alot of the time in heavy rain. I'm still unclear whether it is better to push tall gears, something I've often done, or train to spin at a higher cadence. n Monday, January 15, 2018 at 4:48:37 PM UTC+8, Justin, Oakland wrote: > A Nostuh: > Eleven and Ten are Zen > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
