Re: [RBW] Appaloosa 1x9 issue/question

I run the exact cassette you have with a Shimano XT M772 rear derailleur and it works reasonably well. I think the derailleur you're using might not have clearance for a 40t ( i know on paper it doesn't but in rear world they can work). The M772 technically doesn't either but it does clear. If

If I didn’t need knobbies for the riding I do, I’d be all over the Antelopes for my Hunqabeam. The Steilacooms on my Quickbeam are amazing and ride as cushy as my liteskin 2.1” Thunderburts and Racing Ralphs. Oh! how I’d love a 2.1” Compass knobbie! With abandon, Patrick -- You received

My experience with Compass tires has been that the widest I can fit are my favorite. So Barlow Pass were my favorite. Then Snoqualmie Pass were my favorite. And now Antelope Hill 55’s are my favorite. And by favorite, I mean favorite of all tires ever. -Jim W. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec

Another thought, one which doesn’t offer any specific answers but is a general principle I came to in my drivetrain quest: the drivetrain takes constant pressure and even more on climbs and even more shifting while climbing. It’s well worth getting a system that isn’t jury rigged to function,

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa 1x9 issue/question

Yep, the RoadLink just lowers the derailleur so it is further from the cog. It works great for some, others have reported that it works but shifting to the largest cog isn't as smooth as it could be. If you are considering a new derailleur, get one that officially supports larger cogs. These

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa 1x9 issue/question

Steve’s idea looks good, Bill. Also, I learned the hard way to only use quicklinks when extending a chain, never a chain tool. With narrow chains (7-8 speed and above) it’s just too hard to get the pin back in correctly. Of course, triple check the quicklink to ensure it is fully clicked into
