[RBW] Re: Quickbeam angled dropouts - first principles?

Yes, the end result should be the brake pads parallel to the axle adjustment path, but stay angles and lengths do matter (at least to the framebuilder) in that they determine the point on the rim at which the brake pads will hit and thus the angle between the ground (or a line drawn between axl

Because 20/22 is a lot less than 40/32, and I want a LOW lowest gear for steep dirt hillclimbing. Also, the following is secondary and wasn’t thought of in the design phase, but it’s a lot simpler shifting the front since the bike has no derailleur hanger. That cable-less derailleur as shown wo

James, quirky, delightful, purpose-built, and hilarious. I love it that you love it. Grin. Joe, one way to achieve 3 freewheel or fixed cogs is a double (ENO freewheel, Surly Dingle Cog) and third cog on a flip/flop hub. Manual shift, stop required. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this

James, you probably saw both. Will did his Chev with a double crank but no shifter, then he saw mine, then he added the shifty bits. As you say, it's a great way to get the SS experience while still having a big hill option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Kieran, Thanks. I’m waiting for the 22T freewheel to come, which will be the norm. For the singlespeed experience while still having a great steep hill gear, as JB points out. Right now, it’s temporarily 18 back there. The setup is quite simple. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 7, 2019, at 9:15 AM

Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam angled dropouts - first principles?

One thing that I never understood about the design Riv ended up with is compensating for the variable angles as a result of the wheel change. It appears with their angled dropout* design a wheel closer to the seat tube steepens the ST and HT angle while a wheel farther away from the seat tube
