Hi Glen. Sorry, just getting around to responding now.

Hi Mike-
Make sure you shift into the smallest cog in the rear before you remove the
wheel. This makes it easier to take out and re-install since you know that the
chain goes back on the small cog for re-install. For the AHH, you need to
rotate the front derailleur forward and slightly

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I do know how to properly remove a
wheel. It's an issue of space between where the rear derailer attaches
to the hanger and the skewer bolt. And no I'm not mounting the wheel
with the quick release on the drive side. I'm not sure if maybe my

Oops, yes. Rotate the rear derailleur.
You'd never guess I help write technical documents for a living.

Thanks folks but I know how to take off a rear wheel and so know about
shifting to the smallest cog. My Homer has 135 spacing and a 135 rear
hub. I've never had an issue like this on any of my other bikes. I'll
maybe post a picture later. I'm not sure if it has something to do
with the thickness
I'm running an Ultegra w/ a Phil hub (135 spacing). I shift to the
smallest cog and it drops right out then goes right back in. No
problem.

Hi Mike-
Sorry. I wasn't trying to imply that you didn't know how to do it. I only
brought that up because I've seen people who have been riding many years and
still do things a bit wonky.
To answer your question, though, yes that seems to be a common problem with the
AHH. I think it has to

That bike has an ironic destiny in store for it. It will likely be purchased

but I'd like to change the 12 to a 13. Can this be done does a

Call me crazy... but isn’t it possible that sometimes a bike is worth

So I took my Atlantis to a shop and had them take a look. They said
that it was bone dry in there and that the bottom bracket had loosened
up. They took it out, greased it up, and reinstalled it. Everything
seems to be working great now. They said they recommend regreasing it
once a year b/c

Sounds like you got your problem solved. Not sure about the annual

the grease in and the grung out? My Atlantis is now 6 years old and the

Not sure if IRD and Shimano cassettes can interchange cogs (can someone
