I've been using them since 2002, have them on three bikes and love 'em. It's all "yay" as far as I'm concerned. A point to bear in mind about these: the 13 and the 30 are re-usable, and will can be used on many 12-27 cassettes (the basis for the customization). I use them with 24/36/46 (700Cx32), 24/36/48 (700Cx28) and 26/36/48 (650Bx42) drive trains. The resulting gearing is absolutely perfect for me. Top gear just under 100", low gear on the middle ring in the low 30s, and a granny gear in the low 20s. I have never understood why Shimano didn't make this a standard cassette. A 13-30, after all, was one of the standard 7 speeds (and I use that one, too, on my Kogswell P/R touring bike). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
