That's a good looking L, Igor! I just sold another bike - which helps support
my upcoming Cheviot - so I'm leaning towards keeping my bronzey green Clem L

If you need a bigger bag there's a nice Large Grey Sackville around here or the

Adam, don't quote me on this 'cause I haven't searched to refresh my memory,
but if it's a Veloce 10 group I think it'll shift a Shimano/SRAM 8 cassette.
That'd be Campy on the super cheap!

Thanks for all the help, guys! My reason for asking is because I have a
lightly used Veloce groupset. I was kinda doubtful if the crankset would fit,

I don’t know physics. “Artist!” Empirically, it gets Really Effin Tight.

longer than the lever (braking) trying to remove it.

Phil, pushing the bike, no, but unexpected rocks, roots, drops and other
adventures easily could.
So, to double check my understanding of the physics of the rotafix technique

That's pretty good. Thanks for posting this. Not that I use hubs without
lockrings, or that I even need a lockring, but if I ever do, this will
provide at least a theoretical additional margin of safety.
If you ever find that article on jam nuts, please post that too.

Or just squeeze the dropouts in a smidge, and suddenly, all 130mm hubs are
possible. I've been running my Sam this way for years w/no ill effects.

The long horizontal dropouts on my 53cm Rosco Bubbe road were a big reason
I bought it. Some day I'll reinvent it as a single speed. It's a 1x8 now,

But even with horizontal dropouts it's a compromise as a si

If for a single speed, why not also have it versatile enough for fixed
gear? IE horizontal dropouts. Of course the White Eno eccentric hub is a
game changer. Becuase of a temporary move to a flattish town, i converted
my Boulder rando bike to a fixed gear, and with the eccentric hub /

The rotafix removal simply requires looping/folding the chain the opposite
direction, and rotating the wheel forward instead of backwards.
For me, at 245 lbs, 32h wheels have been fine. More than fine. Your experience
and comfort level may vary, though.

Correct. All 11-speed cassettes are cross-compatible; SRAM, Campagnolo,
and Shimano all used the same cassette spacing when they went to 11-speed.
Also, Shimano 11-speed MTB cassettes fit on 10-speed freehubs (because the
largest cogs are dished). So, you could use any 135 mm OLD 10-speed

I've used the rotafix method many times to remove a cog when the regular
chain whip couldn't get it. Never saw a reason to use for installation, as
repeated riding will get it tight enough. Check the lock ring often if you
are worried about it.
As for fixed cog on regular freewheel threads wi
I would get the White Industries hub myself. For something as important as a
wheel, going cheap on any part of that wheel compromises the entire wheel and
it ends up costing more later.
Quality wheels are just as important as the frame.

Thanks, Philip! I may end up doing the rotafix after all. The hub was 32 hole
and I am more comfortable on 36 hole. So before I buy a wheel set I’ll test the
cog on my flip side. How does one remove the rotafixed cog without shattering
things?

J, its a Silky saw. Japanese, it cuts on the draw rather than push, which is
more effecient all around and allows for an agressive blade yet fine cut. They

Jam nuts. Sorry: “Artist!”
It’s how a threaded headset is arranged: fat nut over lean nut. I could find

loosen the nuts, and skinny nut loosens right away, but fat nut holds strong.
Convinced me.

I don't know what the situation is with mtb cassettes, but you can use Shimano
or SRAM 11-speed road cassettes with Campy 11-drivetrains.

How is it better than honking up a hill? Leverage. Your weight and core
strength on a 46t ring is nothing compared to a virtual 12t ring and a 622mm
crank arm. You stop cranking when you get scared, not when the cog stops moving.
