Any one pair this upper range (42 or 46) with a triple and long cage rd with
an extender?

I would not want something like this, the larger 24-30-36-42 - all 6 teeth
apart. I think the last gear should be your bail-out gear, the others
should be closer together, Who really needs two or three gears in the 20's
or 30's, if you are not racing uphill? That is why I like the 7 speed
Soma Fab aka Merry Sales has a S-Ride 11-42 8 Speed,
11-13-16-20-24-30-36-42t
So drop the 11t for 7s, voila 13-42, the 42 cog is alloy.

I run a 7 speed with a 3x front on my old touring bike (deerhead front DR).
It's a great bike and I love that I can go fast with a 48, truck along with
a 39, or spin endlessly with a 28 all with barcons easily accessible. WIder
span would be really nice, but 32-34 rear cog is suitable. I also
I still run 7 speed *freewheels* on two of my Rivendells . Like the 7 speed
cassettes, it allows almost zero dish on a 135mm hub. Hopefully, the 7
speed cassettes will be individual sprockets and not all riveted together
on common carriers so that one can customize their own gearing. I really
Ray, I'm another one of the few anticipating the arrival of the 7 speed
cassette. I'm a long time user of 7 and 8 speed cogs so I'll also be a
buyer.

I started a tour yesterday using a 7 speed cassette (13-34 IRD) with a
46-32-20 triple crank, about a 15” low gear. Three long climbs today but
not steep, used all my gears with the two larger chainrings. Most of the
climbs around my house in central New Hampshire I would have to walk
without
I love my 1x's, mostly with 9 speed cassettes but, I think, one 8 and one 7
speed freewheel. My favorite is a 42 up front with a 12-32 or 34 in back.
I can go almost anywhere but, sometimes, I might feel a little more
energetic, or have a tail wind and other times I might be feeling less
I'm with Joe. The simplicity of a 1x setup just works so well for me. No FD
to mess with and less gears to overthink about. I don't see myself going
back to a 2x or 3x setup.

Best gear combination for me (Sierra mountain region) is a 46x30 on the
front and a 13-34 or 36 7 speed on the back. I get the 7 speed cassette by
taking apart a 10 speed cassette and putting just 7 cogs on the hub (my
rear hub is 120mm). It works great with friction, and with the 120mm hub,

We can, in fact, fall from grace and return to it. Which is entirely off
topic but there ya go.

This goes along with what I've always known is that we've long reached the
point of folly with not only bike parts but pretty much every thing we use
in our everyday living. I don't want or need a 1x geared bike as I'm
perfectly happy with "normal" triples and even doubles like a 36/46 and not
I see Grant's point about triples, I just don't agree with it. My custom
runs a 36 × 11-51 11-speed and I love not messing with two shifters and the
chain-suck/drop issues that come with front derailers. One is enough! (for
me)

It'll be interesting to see what cog sizes the 13-42 has. I imagine the
13-34 will be the same as the old Shimano (13-15-17-20-24-28-34, IIRC).
Matched up with a 24-36-48 triple it was an excellent, wide range, easy
shifting drive train. I also enjoyed his discussion of triples in the
I'm also looking forward to the wide range 7 speed cassettes. I really
like the idea of a 7 speed rear hub as well as it would lower the dish of
the wheel. I recall the old Phil wood 7 speed freewheel hubs were dishless
(never could afford one when they were available). Not sure if that would
