I notice that your Hilsen has indented chain stays. I don't think I've seen
these on this model before. I wonder if that is due to which factory
(Waterford?) it was made at. My Saluki (same bike, different head badge)
doesn't have them. Neither does the Ram or the Road Standard. In fact the

Here's some pics of my recently changed drive-train. I added the HG61
Shimano 12-36t cassette to my Hilsen and went all 9sp indexed. After a bit
of fiddling, I have a pretty nice stump pulling setup with a 24" low to a
103.5" high on two chainrings. The Campy front derailleur is indeed a

You know eventually Sunrace, or Sram will produce a 36t cassette for
cheap. I think the smart thing to do is just wait for that.

Regarding the modification of the rear derailleur to accommodate a
larger cassette / freewheel cog:
Just this week I read about doing that on the bikeforums.net.
A fellow was able to use a water jet cutter of some sort at his
community college to cut a longer cage so he could
use a vintage derai

" you did say that a worn cog was cause for a new cassette"
Nope. That was Steve Palincsar that said that.
I believe in cog-swapping (within reason). Even more, though, I believe in
frequent chain replacement, spinning at nice high cadence in nice low
gears, and most of all owning a whole b

ring!! 17-26 straight block 10 speed!
But you did say that a worn cog was cause for a new cassette; now it's not
the 32, 34 or 36 that is going to wear out in a normal lifetime. A Miche
will keep your cassette going.
On Fri,
$10 true. But on Harris, which just shows you the QBP catalog, the biggest
shimano compatible cog you can buy is a 29t. No 32, no 34, and certainly
no 36.
They do have the first position cogs in 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17!

Actually, Miche sells them all, I think, up to 32 or 34t and even has
weird, big small cogs: I've got a 16 t outer (a manly size). About $10 each

*ccanter: Seems to me that 50 to 75 bucks for a set of cogs is not that
inexpensive in my estimation. Specially when I only need one. I just
thought it would be cool if I could lower my compact double ( 46-34) a tad
for cheap.

For what it's worth, Harris has a 33-tooth 110mm chainring. It's $48 plus
shipping, but there you are.

Actually, this is new and may be a good idea if you want really low gears:
it replaces the granny with a device that lets you install a cog as small
as 17t in its place:

I knew a Swedish rider (Olaf Stroh, nice guy) who drilled a 38 t TA outer
chainring to bolt to the penultimate cog of a Shimano cassette, then made
an extended mounting arm for his rd so that this could accomodate the new
cog. Lessee: 24/38X27" = 17 whole gear inches. I hear that at least one,

If I do decide to pull the trigger on the whole set of nine, I'll be sure
to shop you first.

True, I may have lost my appreciation for screwing around with bike parts
when I started trying to make it pay the bills! What was I thinking?

"Even if you could find the correct cog, it sure seems like a lot of
screwing around."
Don't discount the entertainment value of screwing around. Rational?
Probably not.

I'm not aware of a source for 36t cogs, since that's not one that wears
out, and most of the cassettes are not made to have cogs switched out
(easily) these days. As someone pointed out, the Shimano 12-36 9sp cassette
and the 7sp 13-34 cassette are not terribly expensive. Even if you could

Clyde:
Action Tec lists a 36t (also 38 & 39!) on their website but they are
titanium @ $78 each. You can buy the entire 12-36 9 speed Shimano
cassette from Riv for a lot less ($55 last time I noticed). For your
7 speed, there's a 13-34 standard Shimano cassette.
The bargain option I've used is
