My 1st MTB, a Schwinn Sierra had a double up front and one of those 14-48 Freewheels... it got me up a lot of steep trails in 1984.
and and in the"learn somethin' everday" file ... I thought the Suntour microdrive cranks were 94/58... after Brain's post above I checked the XC Comp in my parts bin... 56! darn.. I was going to use that 20T ring on the S-works ( Sugino) crank. Now I have to buy a 58bcd 20T ring for my new dropbar 29er. and David where did you find a x-34 cassette in an 8 speed? All I can find is 32 as max cog. ~Mike~ On Dec 13, 3:19 am, EricP <ericpl...@aol.com> wrote: > Or just get yourself one of the old SunTour 14-38 freewheels > -http://tinyurl.com/3xvy42z > > Actually used one in about 1984 or 1985.
