Dave,
I appreciate the gearing info. I got a cassette wheel to try and a
12-32 8sp cassette. Since my Bombadil isn't complete yet I threw the
wheel on my road bike (135mm spacing,45.5mm chainline w/Zephyr triple
26/44/48) in a repair stand. I can see why you don't use the middle
ring/smallest cog.... quite an angle. What took me a while to figure
out was the noise from the 12t cog with the big chainring. It seems
the angle the teeth at various angles doesn't match real well with the
chain (Sram pc-850). The noise is coming directly from where the cogs
meet the chain. I couldn't imagine riding it... or the wear. I'm used
to FW cogs being straight and quiet. Is this just how the smallest
cassette cogs are? This has me re-thinking about sticking with a Phil
FW hub again.... as I use the small cog/mid ring all the time. I've
got plenty of decent FW's to use. I didn't know there were such
restrictions with the 8 speed & up stuff. I guess I could always use a
4.5mm spacer and remove a cog on a cassette to get 7 speeds . . . but
I'm still shaking my head over the noisy 12t cogs. I tried it with a 9
sp 11-32 Shimano cassette also.... and it was the same. Am I missing
something about cassette cogs?
