Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

Having done such things in the past like with an old XT 8-speed rear derailleur, I'd be very surprised if that Suntour beauty did not work well with the 12-36 9-speed cassette. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 24, 2014, at 11:08 AM, Garth wrote: > lungisam, FWIW, the RD can be used with any spee

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

lungisam, FWIW, the RD can be used with any speed and it likely will work with 36t cogs, just as LX derailers do, despite being "rated" for 34t. Manufacturer ratings, and more based upon the specific match part it is intended to be grouped with than it's real world capacity.. They are assumin

I mean 36t, which RBW likes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To post to this group, send email

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

Did you see the Hunkypiller on their home page? Looks like pretty stuff. Too bad the FD is braze on only. I could see RBW offering their stuff. That RD is pretty but not for 35t or 8 speed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

The lower-end microSHIFT derailleurs don't shift as well as the similarly priced Shimano units. The former have more slop, and are less tolerant of dirt and/or poor setup. microSHIFT's higher-end derailleurs do function quite nicely. Their non-sealed pulleys, however, aren't as smooth as the ones f

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

Yeah, it might have worked, but I judged the comfort of knowing it will work as being more important than aesthetics because I use my Rivendell as a brevet bike. On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:09 PM, Garth wrote: > > Oh... I guess it says 28t max cog . Hmmm. the wrap is the same though, > and the

Am pretty sure this widget is intended for reverse-fork (track) ends (Sheldon wouldn'tve want you calling them "dropouts"!), e.g. Quickbeam. Or perhaps your ex-keirin fixie. ;-) =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 7/23/14, Jim Bronson wrote: > I've got an old Nishiki that has one of those derailers

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

I looked at the silver long cage R10, it looks nice but the rating for the biggest cog is 28. The silver Chorus that I had before was rated to 29, and was handling 30. So I would say it was at best equivalent to what I had already. I wanted to run something that was officially rated to handle 34,

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

I've got an old Nishiki that has one of those derailers with an integrated hanger. I was wondering if that piece could replace it. On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 11:26 AM, Ron Mc wrote: > also, old road bikes (and most mountain bikes) - this is a Raleigh steel > derailleur hanger > > >

Oh... I guess it says 28t max cog . Hmmm. the wrap is the same though, and the cage looks just as long . . . .idk. lol ! On Wednesday, July 23, 2014 1:04:23 PM UTC-4, Garth wrote: > > > How 'bout this one Jim :) > All silver too > > http://www.microshift.com.tw/RD-R47S_r10.html > > http

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

The Suntour XCD rear derailer is definitely not cheap, it's over $100 online whereas a plain jane silver Deore goes for less than $50 online and works really well on two of my bikes. When I changed to 11-34 I considered the XCD, then chose the latter option. What's really galling is that the equi

Re: [RBW] the new Suntour?

Converting your ss with track ends to a rd? I'm curious how that would work in practice; seems a bit awkward, while the old-style, bolt-on hangars were relatively secure if a bit clunky -- though, would they work with track ends? The various components would all be on my short list (at least to be

This has been discussed briefly on the group before. Now me, I am actually interested in the purpose of the hangar. When would this sort of thing be used? On a bike that didn't have a proper derailer hanger? On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 8:02 AM, MobileBill wrote: > A recent post on a derailer han

A recent post on a derailer hanger for Simple One referred to this site: http://sunxcd.net/chaintug/ Ignore, for now, the hanger, and check out the rest of the products. Read the "About" section, and the company's mission. Did I miss a conversation about this? Is this the new component manufact
