I just put a new Sachs P 48 (? Cheap, 8 speed, NIB) on the Fargo and found that it is fully two links shorter than the 9 sp chain it replaced. It will cover the Big/Big combo (46/34 -- note that the 34 is in the #7 position) without grumbling but the cage is angled considerably forward. The next-to-biggest cog is a 28, I think, and it handles that fine.
No chain suck on todays mixed dirt/pavement 26 mile ride, so perhaps the added tension is helping keep things in place? At any rate, given the above -- and the fact that I never use the 46/34 anyway; I do use the 46/28 occasionally -- any reason to think that I ought to add more links? -- Vote early, vote often, vote Rhinoceros! http://tinyurl.com/d7muj2t ------------------------- Patrick Moore, Albuquerque, NM, USA For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html ------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
