[RBW] 8 speeds going away @ Rivendell?
I would guess that 8 speed is just old now and very few people are looking for new 8 speed parts. How many different parts can you stock? With 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 speed drivetrains what do you stock and what don’t you stock? Over the years it seems like 9 speed became the new “normal” for Riv and they have stocked other parts more sparingly. Cheers!

I think the idea is that 8-speed shoppers at Riv are looking for a bargain, so they carry one good/cheap one for them. 12-36 would be X'd out for exactly the reason you state: it's the popular one. I'm sure they'll get more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

It's been a while since I checked the parts area on Rivendell's site. They only have one 8 speed cassette configuration, and in black only at grade HG-31. It is a bargain @ $20 but looks like a clearance price when compared to $40 for the two 9 speed offerings. No listing of what grade those are BUT the desireable 12-36 is "X'd out", with only 11-32 & 11-28 listed. With the increasing interest in ever larger tires, the 12-36 looks like the one to keep if inventory reduction is the goal. Those extra 4 teeth can be especially useful with chubby tires. dougP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
