Re: [RBW] Re: Gus front derailleur reccomendation needed

[Jacob Byard]

I did not have the cable installed. I just manually grabbed the cage and I did have the limit screws open. By my eye it didn’t reach the big ring. But if I’m using too wide of a BB then that probably explains it. I’ve ordered a 113mm width.  I did not realize the 118mm BB referred to Silver cranks only. That’s good to know.  I’m an ambitious but poor mechanic. Thank goodness for this list and YouTube.  Thank you for the help!  Sent from my iPhone On Dec 4, 2022, at 8:03 AM, Garth <garth...@gmail.com> wrote: Jacob, by "not having enough throw" is that hooked up with a cable or not ?  If it's with a cable then it's obviously a cable adjustment issue, but really whenever a derailleur capacity is in question it's best to simply do it without a cable and manually see how much it can travel with the adjustment screws open all the way. The Riv derailleur for a 118mm BB is referring to the Silver crankset only, it's not universally applicable.  On Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 8:58:28 PM UTC-5 brendonoid wrote: My Susie is clearing a 2.8" rear tyre with a triple setup on a 113mm BB atm. Not the same crank but majority of that era triples were pretty much made for 110mm BBs except for some Suntours which needed crazy long ones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
