Have thought about this a bit. Probably my 8 speed will end up going to nine. As it is cassette, the switch shouldn't be too painful.
For 7 speed, well, will probably purchase a couple more freewheels so the Hillborne will be set. Unless, of course, I sell that bike to purchase something that takes fat tires (3" plus). While am somewhat anxious about the switch to 10 speed, also not too worried. Seems to me "back in the stone age" when 7 first came out, it was terribly unreliable. Remember hanging around a bike shop and hearing horror stories of chains snapping, cogs breaking, etc. All the grey hairs were sticking with 4 and 5 speed as the only reliable source. Some were willing to risk 6 speed. Even if the SunTour chains were not good. (I snapped three of those in one year.) Doesn't mean I'm hopping on the 10 speed train. But am not going to totally discount it, either. But for my Rivendell, probablyalmostcertainly not.
