the 36T work with the LX or would it be
Mitch:
Shimano is usually conservative with their ratings so if this unit is
rated to 34, there's a good chance it'll handle 36. On their website,
Rivendell recenlty mentioned they using that 12-36 9 speed a lot. You
may want to consult them on what RD they use but I doubt it's anything
You should have no problem if you reverse the B-screw on any Non-Shadow
Shimano rear derailer. Check out how I did it on my Bombadil with a rear XT
derailer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/4168792436/

Thanks all.
I think I'll go for the LX Kris linked to. The next question is bar
end shifters. I have in hand a set of Suntour power ratchets and a
near new set of Dura-ace 8spd indexed (CL $30). I'm wondering if I
should spring for a pair of 9sp Dura-ace bar ends ($70) from Chain
reaction at the
Mitch:
Since the Atlantis is a touring bike, 8 speed is plenty IMHO. I'd go
with the shifters you have the Harris custom 13-34. Never had a 9
speed but as more parts get stuffed into a space, things get more
finicky. Finicky is not desireable when touring. On the BB question,
either 110 or
Agreed...save your money and get something like this LX;

XTR components work well and are light. My wife uses XTR on her mtb
and I use X.0 on mine. However, if I wanted a long lasting, good
looking RD for an Atlantis it would not be
My Atlantis is from early 03. Perhaps there was a change since then
that allows a 107 mm BB? Calling Riv direct was the right thing. The
website listing of the 107 has been a subject of discussion here more
than once and, IIRC, no consensus.

hey mitch,
when I ordered my Atlantis frame in 2007, i also ordered a 107 bb per
a Riv employee's suggestion. with the sugino xd2 crank the small 24
ring was way too close to the chainstay. i called Riv, talked to
another employee, and he recommended a 110-113mm spindle for the
sugino xd2.
Yeop Kind of like getting Ultegra instead of Duraace. All of the
performance, half the price and just a fraction heavier.
Thanks for the LX link btw Kris that is the best deal I have seen on
the series with the cool raised LX logo, even with a stiff shipping
charge.

Riv says 107BB and I think the Sugino XD2 they recommend is good but

IIRC, the 107 mm BB listed is an error. My Atlantis came from Riv
with a 115 the same crank you've got. When I replaced the BB, my
measurements research suggested a 110 would work. It did but just
barely. I'd go 113 as a minimum. My crank has 175 arms and 24/36/46

Doug,
Based on previous comments like yours I called Riv and specifically
asked about the Atlantis BB recommendation on their website. Dave
asked me how old the frame I have is and I told him 5 yrs. Grant said
107 so I feel compelled but a little uneasy about something that
shouldn't be.
Thanks
The derailers should work fine, though I don't particularly like the
aggressive looks of the new XTR shadow rear mech, and you can
certainly spend a lot less without reducing performance. Check
chainreactioncycles.com for NOS (new old stock) Shimano derailers (and
hubs, etc.) at great prices.
