[RBW] Re: High and wide versus low and narrow drop bar for off road riding

[Jason Fuller]

So, I tried the Crust towel rack (narrow version) and it gave me neck pain 
but the 50cm Simworks SoBar (basically a 50cm Noodle) works beautifully for 
me; a 48cm Nitto Noodle is the closest still-available option. I have 
somewhat broad shoulders for my size but I'm not a big guy, so normally I'd 
run a 42 or so. Everyone is different, but I recommend this bar highly in 
as wide as your body will allow - the control of a wider drop bar 
off-pavement is undeniable. And the Noodle is such a classic and still hard 
to beat shape IMO, especially coming off a randonneur style bar

I know someone who just got a very nice powdercoat from West Coast 
Powdercoating in SF, sounds like $200 - 240 is the going rate which is 
impressively cheap for a nice paintjob.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

I'm with Joe. The simplicity of a 1x setup just works so well for me. No FD 
to mess with and less gears to overthink about. I don't see myself going 
back to a 2x or 3x setup.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

[Karl Wilcox]

Best gear combination for me (Sierra mountain region) is a 46x30 on the
front and a 13-34 or 36 7 speed on the back.  I get the 7 speed cassette by
taking apart a 10 speed cassette and putting just 7 cogs on the hub (my
rear hub is 120mm).  It works great with friction, and with the 120mm hub,
I get a very quiet ride and a strong wheel.  My only gripe is that I am
stuck with using the 11 tooth small cog.

[Joe Bernard]

This is a low probability project but my new-to-me V-O Neutrino mini velo 
(it's awesome, get one!) is going to get stripped down for a new cockpit 
and cables and I'm tempted to keep stripping stuff off until there's just

[RBW] Re: Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

[Garth]

This goes along with what I've always known is that we've long reached the 
point of folly with not only bike parts but pretty much every thing we use 
in our everyday living. I don't want or need a 1x geared bike as I'm 
perfectly happy with "normal" triples and even doubles like a 36/46 and not 
that silly granny/middle ring double and a micro cassette. Regardless of my 
opinion about such setups I surely support anyone that wants to ride them. 
Life thrives on variety, and it's a self-defeating blindness of 
corporations like SRAM/Shimano that try to force people into using their 
products by discontinuing perfectly good working parts. The quest for 
control is death. Corporations are doing it with electric autos now too. 
The time for relying on the big corpses has past. Now is the time for even 
the seemingly smallest of operations to resurrect or continue all these 
perfectly good working parts that aren't subject to the wavering 
instability of change-for-changes-sake.

I'm glad Riv is offering 7 speed stuff again as it should have never been 
pushed aside in the first place.Not only is there room for everyone's 
setups, it is the only "norm" that exists. 
This distinct individuality is our Unity. It's inherent in/as our Being, 
choiceless , changeless.  We can no more fall from grace that we can return 
to it. We are pure Grace !

[RBW] Microshift thumb shifters with Tosco / Bosco

[Richard Rose]

Microshift thumb shifters. I like them! Where do most folks place them on 
your Tosco / Bosco bars? Mine are on top about one inch beyond the first 
downward bend ahead of the grips / brake levers.  The shifting from this 
location is ok if you are not in a hurry, which I basically am not. They 
(shifters) provide a nice "stop" when I want to slide my hands slightly 
forward of the grips. But, the shifters make sliding further down the bar a 
little difficult. Does anyone rotate the shifters to be in a position 
closer to modern triggers so that you do not need to move your hands to 
shift? I guess bar ends would accomplish this?

I see Grant's point about triples, I just don't agree with it. My custom

[RBW] Re: Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

[dougP]

It'll be interesting to see what cog sizes the 13-42 has.  I imagine the 
13-34 will be the same as the old Shimano (13-15-17-20-24-28-34, IIRC).  
Matched up with a 24-36-48 triple it was an excellent, wide range, easy 
shifting drive train.  I also enjoyed his discussion of triples in the 
latest blahg.  It seems the supposed simplicity of eliminating the FD by 
stacking more & thinner cogs in the back is really self-defeating.  
Coupling an 11 or 12 cog cassette with a thinner chain a more sensitive RD 
& shifter doesn't smack of simplicity.  Kudos to Rivendell for also 
resurrecting cassettes with 14 tooth small cogs.

[RBW] FS: Shimano Rear Derailleurs 9-speed NEW & more!

[David Hallerman]

Hello cycling friends. What’s here today are Shimano rear derailleurs, 
mostly 9 speed (many brand new), a few classic Deore XT 7-speed, and one 
magnificent first generation XTR M900 mechanism. All these rear 
derailleurs are traditional, top normal, high normal (aka, NOT Rapid 
Rise). Most are mainly silver, unless noted. And all the derailleurs are 
mechanically fine.


All prices include shipping in for buyers who cover the Paypal fee. 
Photos available on request, and questions quickly answered.


Thanks for looking, and I’ve posted front derailleurs separately.

Dave, who says you can find the official Shimano instructions for 
numbers one two four and six here 
(https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/si/SI-5W00A-002-ENG.pdf) but really the 
info in this PDF applies to the setup basics for all these rear derailleurs

/
//P.S. Note that all the used rear derailleurs were used only for road 
cycling./

[RBW] Re: Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

[Tim Baldwin]

I'm also looking forward to the wide range 7 speed cassettes.  I really 
like the idea of a 7 speed rear hub as well as it would lower the dish of 
the wheel. I recall the old Phil wood 7 speed freewheel hubs were dishless 
(never could afford one when they were available). Not sure if that would 
be possible on a cassette hub. This cassette with a single ring up front 
would be great for around town and a double (or triple) up front would have 
a great range for touring.
Happy to see Grant continuing to come up with new and practical bike parts.

[RBW] Anticipating the 13-42 7 speed cassette

[Ray Varella]

Am I one of the few who thinks this is a great option. 
I applaud Merry Sales for their continued support of everyday practical 
bike gear.
I will definitely get a couple. 
I am just as eagerly awaiting Rivendell’s V- brake and rear derailer. 
Thank you once again Grant. 

Ray

Re: [RBW] Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Ryan Frahm]

I’ll add myself to the list as well! I was out and couldn’t buy them in 
time. Been waiting since I caught a glimpse of them almost 2 years ago!

 69cm is just more than minimal width for my shoulders & wrists. But I'm 
 praying these bars aren't TOO flexy for me, and that pairing with a long, 
 low stem will give me some breathing room.

 In those Radavist photos, I noticed Uncle Ron has his stem down below 
 his saddle, and is gripping those bars at the inside end of those grips.

 My intuition is telling me a bullmoose version of these bars with a 
 170mm quill would fit my Hunqapillar better.
