Oh, and regarding gearing, I am very glad that 46x30 is becoming kind of a "standard" because it is my favorite. I prefer it with a 12-28 for general use. This gives me adequate climbing gears for any on-road use, and an adequate high gear. (I cannot keep up with downhill "attacks" but my racing days are so far behind me that this bothers me not at all.)
I spent a lot of time with a 46x30 and a 14-27, but I actually discovered that the rear spacing was so close that most of the time I made two rear shifts at a time. And for super steep off-roading, I prefer a 1-1 ratio, ie. a 30 cog in the back. Combined with the 46x30 this makes rear derailleur selection difficult... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
