It was frustration with duplicate gears that drove me to riding fixed
drivetrains.
Seriously, I used to spend a great deal of time calculating gear charts
(good way to while away boring staff meetings). Even with close-ratio
crossover triples there were always annoying (conceptually annoying if
Piaw, thanks for the comments and pictures! Looks like you're having loads
of fun.
I would likely be running downtube shifters and a 2x with a long cage
derailieur to get my low gears. You must be running, what, an 11x50? I'm

Lol, Ted, I’m sorry! I’m sure it was the walk of shame for you after that chain dropped. And the paint!!! Those pedals are Spank Oozy pedals, anodized in a teal color. I dearly love them, and they have weathered well.On May 19, 2023, at 4:44 PM, Ted Durant wrote:On Friday, May 19, 2023 at
It’s good to hear that people like their 1x - Grant talked about it in his
blog and he didn’t have the praise for it I was expecting.
He's never tried 1x with an 11s friction shifter. :-)

Thanks for the review! As a daily drop-bar Sam rider, I'm well accustomed
to the Rivendell ride. It's been a great bike for my uses: commuting, heavy
loading. But, as a light (155# @ 6 foot tall), spinner, I wish for a bike
that is lighter, less stiff, and more flexible to ride when I want to
If you go way back to the 5-6 speed freewheel cassette days, the typical
bike was a 10 speed (really 8 speed since you can't go big/big or
small/small). It stands to reason once cassettes got to 11s, you didn't
really need the front derailleur/shifter any more as long as your low
gears/high gears
No, my remarks bear only on the question whether setting up fds to shift
well and actually shifting them is inherently difficult, particularly with
small granny rings. The thrust of the discussion was: "I ditched my fd and
found life much easier." And this with regard to granny rings in

24/38/48 was default gearing for triples back in the 7 and 8 speed days;
well, perhaps 24/36/46 was more typical but I used the former with no
problem.
My question was: Do wide (11-12-13 cog) cassettes with the wider chain
angles tend to throw chains off of the grannies in triple ring setups? But
I am not a hardcore 1x advocate but both of my bikes are setup that way and
for me personally it just works well. I get the gearing that works for me
in a super simple package.

Oops. I meant to write that 2x is much more reliable than 3x. My 2x
drivetrain almost never gets into trouble.

Maybe I simply don't shift aggressively, but like Laing I never had
problems with wide-range 2X compact front setups and even triples back in
the 7-speed days seemed to shift fine in and out of the granny with a
little care; at any rate, that's what you did if you wanted to get up a
steep hill,

They probably aren’t that hard to adjust. I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I actually like 2x9 gearing and may try it again at some point.DougSent from my iPhoneOn May 19, 2023, at 6:01 PM, lconley wrote:Are modern FDs really that bad / hard to adjust? i learned to ride a 2x5 drivetrain

Brokebike - You done good - it's a beautiful campground. My wife and I have
been saying for years that if we didn't live only 10 miles from Powhatan it
would be our favorite camping destination.
