[RBW] hilsen build questions
Hey, some dumb questions I couldn't find answers to on the interwebs: 1. what length bottom bracket spindle would go on a hilsen with a double like the sugino alpina? 110? 2. what would it be with a triple like an xd2? 107? 3. Does anyone know how to measure a rear derailler to figure out what it's maximum cog size is? I have an ultegra rd and the only label on the cage is 'XF' so I can't tell if it is SS or GS.

I believe 107 is for the "Quickbeam" double on Rivendells. I'm using a 113 with a Sugino Triple on my Hilsen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

You can almost always shift a bigger cog than spec. Definately with Ultegra long cage. On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 3:38 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > I believe 107 is for the "Quickbeam" double on Rivendells.

Re: [RBW] hilsen build questions
Shimano used to state that the max cog size for either Ultegra was 27t. They now state 28t, IFIRC. This may be because they now make Ultegra level 11-28 cassettes. Either Ultegra model will comfortably manage a 30t cog - that's the reason that Sheldon introduced the Harris custom Century Special cassettes in 13-30 and 12-30. They play nicely together. Some have gotten them to work with 32t cogs by reversing the "B" adjustment screw and the like, but the setup can be a bit finicky. I'm happily running an Ultegra GS (medium cage) on my Atlantis with a 13-30 Century Special and a 20-33-46 triple. http://harriscyclery.net/product/harris-custom-century-special-13-30-9-speed-cassette-702.htm Elton Pope-Lance Natick, MA On Nov 5, 2011, at 3:24 PM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > If I'm not mistaken, max cog size (27t) is the same on both Ultegra > derailleurs, but the longer cage version makes it work with a triple. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/-/X1XbWHXMXmMJ. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] hilsen build questions
Your dropout geometry plays a role as well. Some dropouts hold the r der closer to the cogs than others. So it's not a purely inherent property of the derailer itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
