"Probably too much of a pain to deal with." Precisely. It's not in the product descriptions anymore but at the introduction of Silvers much was made of how fiddly that hidden chainring bolt is when installing/swapping rings on the Sugino cranks Riv sold. As a many-years owner of many 'hidden

Was walking past one of my bikes the other day and thought the Sugino AT cranks and the Specialized Flag cranks bare some resemblance to the upcoming Silver 2 cranks. On another note, I was surprised that Rivendell didn't go with a hidden arm crank ala Ritchey. Probably too much of a pain to

Dear exliontamer, I would agree with both Randy and with Frank about the two bikes. For a couple of years, I owned a very nice Toyo (2014?) Atlantis, hardly used when I purchased it. When that proved to be more bike than I thought I needed, I purchased a new 2015 Sam Hillborne, single top

Hi Sarah, I also fuel my engine with pie and love the triple crank on my commuter. It's 48-34-28, with a 12-36 9sp in rear. I love it and use that 34t all the time to push around. Just the right range for hilly Northern VA. Nick in Falls Church On Tuesday, November 28, 2023 at 7:47:53 PM UTC-5

If you’re spinning out the 42, many triple FDs and RDs will handle a 24-36-46 with a 12-36. Alternately, you could use the 24-34-44 with an 11-34 or 11-36, both of which are made in 9 speed. A 44x11 is easy math, it’s the same 4:1 ratio that was the standard high gear when professional racers
