So far, terrain hasn't been an issue for me wrt using the Silvers. I think the trails I ride are well-enough maintained that general roughness won't be an issue. And goodness knows it's flat; I live and ride in Chicago suburbs. Most of my shifts are traffic- or signal-related. > But only 7 speed cassettes. > > > Is that because the 7-speed's wider cog spacing is more "forgiving" than 8-or-more's spacing? Or is there some other reason? (Oh, thanks for the inspiration. I got some aluminum this weekend and did enough Dremel-practice with it to believe I can craft a light bracket. I hope to create one that sufficiently protects the light from wheel spray, can be used with my Mini/PlatRack/SlickerSack, and is reachable enough that I can turn it on/off, while straddling if not while riding, and rarely-if-ever requires adjustment to get the level right; it's a battery light that'll be removed/replaced daily.)
