I'm using 44/30 chainrings and a 12-27 10-speed cassette on my 650B bike,
giving me a 96 gear-inch high and a 29 gear-inch low. I spend most of the
time in the 44 ring (cruising while in the middle of the cassette gets me

Would anyone with a 56cm Atlantis be willing to grab a tape measure and
determine the overall wheelbase? I've spent a very limited amount of time
riding the old 1992 Rockhopper I'm working on as a project but I had so

I do like that Roadeo. Showed to my son. We're about to start a bike
project. He's got an early 80s Trek 613 that's about to get a same-period

I have a Shimano FD built to the same design, and it seems to have

I would say the 42T chainring is for cruising, and the 30T chainring is for

Hope it works out for you. Haven you considered contacting Rivet? Both
