[RBW] Re: Will a "9-speed" Shimano 105 Derailer work with an 8 speed cassette (friction shifting)?

I think the best course of action is to send the bike to me for an immediate going-over and test ride. My immediate thought is bad chain... either stretched or sticky link. But you say you checked. Is the rest of the drivetrain new? --Andy On Saturday, July 7, 2012 7:45:44 PM UTC-7, Zack w

[RBW] Re: Shimano hubs.

I'm currently running 36-hole Ultegra hubs on my Sam and I'm very pleased with them. I borrowed an XT hub wheelset from a friend a while back and feel that the quality is comparable. If you can spring for a 105 or an Ultegra hub, there's definitely enough axle real estate to properly space it t

[RBW] Re: Will a "9-speed" Shimano 105 Derailer work with an 8 speed cassette (friction shifting)?

My first crack at something like that would be to turn the barrel adjuster a couple of turns counterclockwise. If that doesn't help, I'll try to think of something else. jim m wc ca On Saturday, July 7, 2012 7:45:44 PM UTC-7, Zack wrote: > > I am currently trying to eliminate a truly annoying c

[RBW] Will a "9-speed" Shimano 105 Derailer work with an 8 speed cassette (friction shifting)?

I am currently trying to eliminate a truly annoying chain slip on my new-to-me 62 Hunq, and it occurred to me that I am using a new-to-me derailer, and that could be causing the problem. Should it cause me a problem? I have the sugino triple crank, and the standard riv 8 speed cassette 11-32.

Re: [RBW] What happened to "Silver" sidepulls?

I like the "Silver" better, too. I have a set that are bikeless for the moment, but I expect that to change by next summer. Very pretty brakes. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. On Friday, July 6, 2012 4:40:31 PM UTC-7, Mike wrote: > I imagine that the Silvers cost a bit more and RBW scaled back a bit.

I've ridden JB Blues and Greens and 35mm Marathon Supremes. I'm not a fan of the Blues, they feel rather sluggish. The Greens are a great tire and I love the ride although they aren't super durable. For commuting or rambling, I'd say go with the Supremes. They wear well and ride nicely. --mike --
