Thanks for sharing. I don't think I would have seen it otherwise. The bog crossing: when someone faces adversity, when something goes wrong, and it makes a person laugh, that's one of my favorite personality traits. I could see most people I know cursing in that same situation, "work-me" included

Re: [RBW] wheel weight and acceleration?

2021-04-08 Thread Ben Miller
Wheel weight vis a vis moment of inertia matters almost nothing to the modern bicycle. Based upon normal human power outputs (100 W), cruising speeds (6 m/s), and wheel sizes (.35 m) , a bicycle's wheel based upon moment of interia alone comes up to speed in fractions of a second. The differenc

It's a Shimano 105 derailleur and a CS-M7000 11-42 cassette. Yes, that's mixing road and mountain components but I have never had an issue -- now going on 4 years and a couple thousand miles. On Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 2:34:17 PM UTC-4 philipr...@gmail.com wrote: > If you don't mind, what d

Ben, when you say "stuck" is the chain jamming and stopping the cranks, or is it falling between the rings? If it's just a problem of the chain not moving over far enough to hit the granny, you may be able to adjust the indexing (or reposition the cable in the fixing bolt) to make that shift mo

Thanks Joe, I think I'll try the chain first and see if that fixes it. Hopefully it will, since my GF is not terribly interested in barcons or DT shifters (it actually had barcons originally and I replaced those at her request with the R9). Ben On Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 1:59:23 PM UTC-7

Here's ye olde Bombadil with my newly added "fake outer ring" aka chainring guard, which is covering a 34T narrow-wide ring by Raceface. Cassette is 11-42 and this gives me enough low end for real steep stuff (which happens a lot around here) and enough top end to pedal out on pavement descents

Thanks for the info - it looks like the CS-M7000 series would be fine then? https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/slx-m7000/CS-M7000-11.html And if you stick with the same 7000 series of derailleur & shifter you've obviated any mismatches. On Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 1:43:28 PM UTC

Shimano *Mountain 11 speed* works on a Shimano 9 speed hub. Shimano *Road 11 speed* will not. The mountain cassettes have large inner cogs that can overhang the hub flange (the outer 3 cogs are connected) and thus use the narrower 9 speed cassette spacing. The road cassettes have smaller inner

If you don't mind, what derailleur & cassette are you using? Word is that the SRAM 11-speed will fit on Shimano 8/9/10 speed hubs like the Deore. On Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 1:06:02 PM UTC-5 Larry Charlton wrote: > I'm running 1x11 on my proto-Appaloosa. It works flawlessly and I enjoy > th

Wow, I didn't realize the Hunqapillar was switched to green that early on. Wasn't the first batch released in early 2011? And they were already doing green in 2012. I believe Will has stated the Hunqapillar will be back, but in a different form. I look forward to seeing that. On Wednesda
