Mike: If you saved your Sheldon that's a big help because large cogs wear so slowly those ones are probably still usable. Contact me off list whenever you want.
OTH, if you like 7 speed there is a better selection of those than 8 speed. 13-28, 13-30, 13-34 are usually available. Check Sheldon's table for actual dimensions but 7s cogs & spacers are a bit thicker than 8s which are thicker than 9s. So the cogs are further apart & less fussy to shift. IMHO as long as each rider can get the total range and spacing between gears they like, i.e., no big holes or gaps, fewer is better in terms of life span & ease of use. dougP On Jan 1, 6:54 pm, Mike <mjawn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Doug, I may contact you off list later this week to ask about > this.
