[RBW] Favorite All-around Drive train?

2019-11-26 Thread William deRosset
Hi, All, If low tread width is a priority and you really want wide-range gearing, then the TA pro five vis, fiddly setup and all, is the leader, followed by its imitators (and it's inspiration, the stronglight 49d). I can set up a 1x+granny like a 48/32 with a 140 tread width without too much
