It's 7-speed spacing Joe. I can tell from the side view, and all 7-speed cassettes in general on 8-10sp bodies require a 4mm spacer, hence why those keyed spacers are made by Problem Solvers, for example, among many. Also, S-Ride's 7-speed cassettes are configured by leaving off one cog from

Theoretically - I haven't tried it - you should get less clatter when the chain lands kinda between cogs with a narrow chain on a wider-spaced cassette. So that would make an improved friction shifting experience.* *This is assuming the Riv 7 uses old 7-speed spacing. The product copy for this

Consider the source Rich ... always consider the source ! Grant LOVES rapid rise shifting, so I'd expect him to say only glowing things about whatever the setup may be. He's also a salesman of course ! As for the narrow chain , considering how the cog arrangements are engineered for

I think it was that alternate cable routing at the derailleur which gave it that extra "really good, great, best shifting". Hopefully this leads to many more huge bikes in the future. Would love to be in between sizes -Kai On Saturday, June 4, 2022 at 12:38:35 PM UTC-4 RichS wrote: > In
