Hi All, I have a brand new, totally unused 2018 62cm Sam Hillborne canti frame in Sage that I'd like to sell. I haven't even opened the box from Riv so it's that new. Looking at the website Riv is sold out of all canti 62cm frames so if you need a big one look no further. Price is $1,250 whi

Who was it? Maybe it was Deacon Patrick, who used the term "24-inch gear", meaning 24 inches == two feet == walking up the hill. I explained that as a bike-geek, and math-geek joke to the kids on the mountain bike team. They agreed that I'm a huge geek. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Tuesda

Re: [RBW] Re: Turkey Vulture Supreme Gearing: New article about super low gearing on the Analog Journal

Just another data point - My low gears on my MTB and "gravel bike" are ~24 inches and there have been occasions where a lower gear would have been nice. Not "needed" (that is a slippery slope anyway) but if I would have had the option I would have shifted for sure. Clayton Scott SF, CA On Tue

Nothing that says you have to start off from a stop in that gear--you can always shift to one or two higher, get going, then gear down. On Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 2:51:02 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > > My problem has always been getting on and getting moving enough to stay > upright --

If you like to keep your cadence going up hills, I would try the 9 speed or even the 10 speed made by Sunrace. I had the IRD 8 speed wide low cassette for help with climbing. However, it didn't help as when I'd go uphill, I would lose cadence because of the spacing, Climbing got more miserable

Re: [RBW] Re: Turkey Vulture Supreme Gearing: New article about super low gearing on the Analog Journal

28" is about as low as I can use too, at least for the sort of riding I do; climbing the rockies on smooth pavement with gradual curves, carrying 40 lb, I might reconsider. My Matthews and Fargo had low gears of about 30", and my briefly owned 1996 or so Race Lite bottomed out at well above 20 gi.

It's a shiftmate 6. Got em here as a kit with everything you need: https://www.analogcycles.com/product/turkey-vulture-supreme-cable-pull-modifer-kit/ You need it for both friction and index shifting. A shimano 9 speed shifter pulls 2.5 mm of cable per shift, and a SRAM 10 speed derailleur pulls
