And after a year of using a 7-speed hub connected to a wheel with 135 mm spacing, I love it. It's a great way to go if you are just setting up a bike. If you're lucky (and like indexing), you can have it with some 7-speed bar-enders. (Oh, caveat, I love bar-cons. I realize many of you don't.)
Back to the wheel, I use the big-ring/second biggest cog combo very often now, and the addition of that gear is a big reason I like the set-up so much. -Jim On Dec 13, 2008, at 10:45 AM, periwinkle...@yahoo.com wrote: > > On Dec 12, 12:34 pm, Dustin Sharp <dsh...@runbox.com> wrote: >> I'm intrigued by the idea of using an IRD 7-speed freewheel and index >> shifting, but am a little put off at the $600 price tag for a >> complete Phil >> Wood (Freewheel) wheelset from Riv. > > If you want to do 7-speed FW more affordably, Try the Quando sealed- > bearing hub.
