[RBW] Re: Component Question
Ahh... Steve is the only one who correctly guessed that SamuelJames (the OP) was asking about wheels! It looks like everyone else (including me) thought XTR = derailleurs. I'd put an XTR derailleur on anything. Here is Ellis Cycles' David Wages on his sculpted dropouts: http://bit.ly/ellis-dropouts Philip Philip Williamson www.biketinker.com On Jul 19, 4:36 pm, Steve Palincsar palin...@his.com wrote: On Tue, 2011-07-19 at 16:27 -0700, Rene Sterental wrote: AFIK, rear hub width is irrelevant. You can use MTB components on any road frame. Usual caveats apply such as making sure shifters are the same brand as the rear derailer and so on... If the rear hub is too wide for the dropouts, you either have to get the hub respaced, or you have to get the rear triangle spread. Not doing either, but just forcing the hub in there is, according to a recent posting by a noted framebuilder who used to build frames for Serotta, the leading cause of broken dropouts. So no, it's not irrelevant, it's just something you have to deal with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Can't see why not. Right now, there's a 20+ year old Deore on my Atlantis that was OEM on a 7 speed MTB. The Atlantis came with long cage MTB derailer, is 8 speed. The original one just got kinda sloppy loose after 8 years. Run whut yu brung. dougP On Jul 19, 1:54 pm, SamuelJames samcoal...@gmail.com wrote: Can you use Shimano Deore or XTR on a road bike? Curious because I will building up a Yves Gomez soon and that is what I have lying around. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

If the Yves is basically a Sam with a mixte-tube, then you should have no problem. Aside from durability, I think MTB drivetrains are mainly about having enough chain wrap capacity to use a really small stump-puller front ring. The ONLY thing I can think of is some front deraillers have a very deep inner part of the cage that can be tricky to set up with the Sugino triple cranks and their seat tube / chainstay geometry. I had a Shimano LX that I couldn't get to work on my Sam. The FD's that Riv sells - the IRD and Campy - work fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Shimano road and MTB are interchangeable except the hub spacing thing. Not so with SRAM. And their some Campy-Shimano marriages that work without any fancy added parts, like Campy 10spd shifters with Shimano 8 speed cassettes. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Thanks for the feedback...I will probably buy a new wheel set which will be 700c since it's a 62.
