Rusty,
That's a handsome Atlantis you have there. I need to take a look at Spank
Flare bar. The second picture is great, the river trail sounds fun. Your
using your Atlantis for what it was intended a great all-rounder rig.
Black Kats are a good looking pedal but twice as much as the Deity Def
You got a 9spd SunRace shifter and cassette to index with a 10spd SRAM GX
derailer? How did you even think to try it??

One of the problems with using a dropout extender that moves the whole
derailleur down, to work with a larger cassette than the design spec, is
that the shifting becomes pretty bad in the smaller cogs, because the top
jockey pulley is now a considerable distance from those cogs.

Hi Kushan. I did something similar to the drivetrain on my Appaloosa last
year. I have a 42 / 24 double up front and wanted an ultra-low bailout
gear in the back for loaded off-road riding / touring. I'm not a small man

I considered the 59 Clem L but I really need the 52 at 5"10" and an 83 PBH.
I spoke to Grant one day on the phone and he said he rides a 59 and is of
similar size to me. It just looks too big although I've not tried one.

I ran my MT as a quad for a very short time just to try it. I agree with
Patrick that the shifting was very finicky, I couldn't remember where I
was, and it was just overkill for my purposes. It was just a fun
experiment. I use MT as my granny for loaded off-road touring and it

The other nifty thing this does is make the bike essentially a 1x with
bailout. Most riding would be in the big ring with that cassette so there's
less fiddling with the front derailer.*

Hi all, I’m looking for a Nitto S83 in black, 27.2, 300mm in VGC. I only
have interest in the black version of this post. I’m not sure if these were
produced in 250mm and 300mm, or just one of the two lengths. It’s probably
a long shot as I believe these were a pretty limited run, but I figured
I think the point for Kushan is to have a slightly lower gear available and
an 11-42 cassette can be sourced in a parts shortage. It doesn't
necessarily mean the lowest gear will be used.

As Nick mentioned, 24/36 is already very low and lower would be so slow
and/or unstable to keep a straight line that I'd ask myself "what the
point"? I'd rather walk up any such sections. I don't do it often but I've
done it in some places where the section of road/trail is very steep and

And, forgot to add: IME, the Barcons shift 10 cogs nicer than Silvers. My
experience.

I shift a non-standard 10-sp cassette (but more-or-less in-series Miche
cogs) with Suntour Barcons and the shifting is excellent. This is a very
close ratio cassette, though.
I'm using an 11-speed chain, per a tip from Bike Radar that a chain 1
generation ahead of the cassette allows crisper shift
Hugh,
No worries, I'm always reading, I just don't own an Atlantis and hadn't had
anything to say. This is my new thing, only talk when I have something to
talk about! 😂

Kind of depends on the shifter. I have silver 1s (2s will fit) on my Riv
Custom with 11 speeds. The 1s require more shifter rotation for the shift
- almost 180 degrees for all 11 gears, but it is easier to find the
individual gears instead of shifting two at a time. Gear to gear it is

Yes, all Atlantis runs have been in that celeste-ish color, but there was -
probably still is - an option to order a custom color on any Riv. Most of
them were/are done by Rick Stefani (D&D Painting) in the Bay Area, plus
it's possible some Waterford frames were done at Waterford.

I think we've established that the 11-42 cassette, 10-speed chain and Wolf
Link is a fairly simple swap, the question is how will it shift. Has anyone
here friction-shifted 10-speed?

Thanks for the info, Gabe. I knew you'd purchased it from Minneapolis but

Sorry to hear of the laborious grinding on steep-but-not-so-steep climbs
