12? On the Rivendell list? Who'd a' thunk?? Seriously, I have no complaint with 12, as long as it doesn't involve electric shifting and computers, and as long as it last a reasonable number of miles. I'll be interested to hear how 11 and 12 (and for that matter, 10, to which I changed from 9 not too long ago) last compared to, say, oh, 8 or 7.
127" gear? Wow, you are much better off now than before and I, if it were my bike, would drop the gear to something no higher than 100; my only derailleur bike tops out at 86 gi, and my highest geared road bike tops out at 76" (because it's a fixie with a 76 high/67 low). I can easily hit 30 in a 76, at least for a quarter mile or so, and I several times hit 37 1/2 in a 75" gear and twice 48 in a 96" gear, back when my gofast derailleur bike topped out at 48/12 X 24" wheel (559 X 23 mm). 30 in a 76" gear is only a wee bit above 130 r's pm, which is quite easy on a downhill or with a strong tailwind. Irreguleur ja...@harring.nyc via googlegroups.com asked about the longevity and dish of a 12 speed rear wheel. And I'll add, what is the OL spacing? I too will be interested in hearing about the dish. I seem to recall a post not too long ago, on this or the iBob list, showcasing a young adventure rider who shifts 12 SRAMs in back with a friction shifter. Can anyone recall that thread? If it's possible to shift 10 using high-leverage shifter and derailleur, I should think that 12 would be possible with a more modern, lower-leverage system -- say, Silver shifters and a modern rd. Patrick Moore, who just had a nice 20 miler in breezy, moderately warm ABQ, NM in that 76" gear.
