I must thin more closely about a 1XN drivetrain. Tell me: does the Ram
have dt shifter bosses, or just housing stops? (I would have to
saw/file/dremel/and twist the left stop off.)
(Juuust kidding, Steve.)
In other news: talked at length yestiddy to a roadie employed by local
high end shop Fat Tire here on our westside. He told me he had ridden
some shop blowouts (no pun intended) of very high end and delicate
("800 miles") racing tubs all around town for 6-8 months and that the
Stan's had made this trouble free. Except! That Stan's will within 3-4
months coagulate and clump into little golf balls at one place in the
tire, thus causing a weight imbalance. Add more Stan's as required by
instructions and you gradually get larger golf balls. Still, I think
my plan, to go sew up if I can do so on the cheap, is a reasonable
one. Shop has "good" Vittorias for $35 and high end ones for $60.
