You can't just flip the spring on a derailleur. You need to change where
the cable is pulling from and where it is attached. Non-trivial since it is
built into the single molded top part. Where the barrel adjuster is
attached on a rapid rise derailleur is actually the biggest flaw in the
design
Thanks for the review I enjoyed it! I think you are right about the canti
posts but I suspect it is much too late to change it.

My thinking lines up with Ray's point about cogs and chains matching up as
the number of cogs increased and chains became correspondingly narrower.
Patrick's experience has been the opposite. It's always a Good Day to buy a
new part! Why not try a skinny chain for my fat 7 and 8 speed cogs?

Mini V brakes seem like a lost middle ground IMO. Either use V brakes with
long pull levers, or cantis with short pull levers.
Either one of these option would be far better than long reach caliper
brakes, which are too flexy for good braking.

Jason, I bet the long arm v-brakes are a big improvement; Paul components

I forgot to add that, if you don't need to carry clothes on your commute,
just lunch, small laptop (13"), repair kit, perhaps the jacket you wore
inbound, and small sundries, the Junior is a perfect size.

So sad to have missed out on these. If anyone else has a decent set of 700c

Looking for a 700c wheelset, all silver preferred, 32 or 36h, 130mm rear,
that can fit 35 or 38mm tires.
I have a Schwinn Cross Cut I'm updating and the wheels are shot.
I'd like to keep it under $300 including shipping to the Chicago area if
possible.
Thanks!

The earlier version of the Alivio 4000 was rated for 36 and it worked quite
well. I still have it lying around the garage somewhere. It just doesn't
fit my shiny silver aesthetic.
