Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when my 34 tooth biggest cog was considered too small. I'm getting a little out of date. I gotta catch up. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Hauling gallons of milk or crates of beer seems silly to me if you have a car on your driveway. Lou |

Weight isn't the reason to come up with this kind of stuff. Get rid of the FD is. Lou |

My old MTB which was 3-9 I switched over to 1-9 few years back. Makes for a simpler system for the commute and with a chain catcher much less hassle. For that bike it works well even with kit that’s not intended, ie not a wide/narrow chainring hence the chain catcher. Roger Merriman |
