They will NOT work well if at all on 9,10 or 11 speed cassettes. Cheers |

The over all length of the cassette is limited by the distance between the rear drop outs as the wider the cassette the more the hub flange on that side must be offset and thus the angle of the spokes decreases. Okay? Is that the reason you simply cannot make the back fork wider? At some point the spoke angle will make for a wheel that isn't strong enough? Sure you can make it wider. In fact aren't MTB bikes wider. But of course that means a wider crank to keep a decent chain line.... Or, you can just use a narrower chain :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

To get 8, 9, 10, 11 sprockets inside the 130mm road format (originally seven speeds) the sprockets are closer and so the chain is smaller. Is it enough to count the sprockets, e.g. does an 8 sprocket casette always have the same width? Or does that vary between manufacturers? And surely there aren't different chains for 8, 9, 10, and 11 casettes, i.e. four different chain sizes? You'll have to ask Andrew for complete details but from my own use 9 and 10 speed cassettes are the same width. Or perhaps better to say that I've interchanged them with no problems. -- Cheers, John B. |

Four chain models is not a shop inventory - it's nothing. Out of curiosity are single speed bikes doing back there in the world. Here, I would guess, that they outsell the multi speed bikes. When I get up early and am out on the road at 6ish when the neighborhood ladies are out doing the days shopping I've yet to see a multi speed bicycle. -- Cheers, John B. |

(that's not counting the time to takes to boot up, since it's off.) Looks like your computers need some serious clean-up. I just tried it on mine (Dell XPS8700, no SSD, regular HD). It takes such a small fraction of one second that it is impossible to gauge the milliseconds from click to Excel being open. I would need a camera and count the frames. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

John B. wrote: "well, we do still have a few 9 speed chains left". Anyone feel free to elaborate on this. How and why should the chain be different with different cassette/chainring configurations? And is there a "notation" do describe this? Usually makes it easier to understand... The spacing between the cogs grows narrower with growing numbers of gears and since they have pick-ups to assist shifting you have to make the chains narrower to keep them from hopping gears all the time. |

When I get up early and am out on the road at 6ish when the neighborhood ladies are out doing the days shopping I've yet to see a multi speed bicycle. Very common here as well but I make no big distinction between the single speed, 3-speed or even the Pentasport Torpedo, which is much less common of the three. MTBs and racers and shoppers with casettes are not uncommon but it varies with age and gender, and with the ladies in particular they are in the minority. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

The spacing between the cogs grows narrower
with growing numbers of gears Are the sprockets always the same width, only spacing grows narrower? and since they have pick-ups to assist shifting you have to make the chains narrower to keep them from hopping gears all the time. Does it impact anything else in the cycling experience/performance to have a narrower chain? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
