The earlier version of the Alivio 4000 was rated for 36 and it worked quite
well. I still have it lying around the garage somewhere. It just doesn't
fit my shiny silver aesthetic.

Looking for a 700c wheelset, all silver preferred, 32 or 36h, 130mm rear,
that can fit 35 or 38mm tires.
I have a Schwinn Cross Cut I'm updating and the wheels are shot.
I'd like to keep it under $300 including shipping to the Chicago area if
possible.
Thanks!

So sad to have missed out on these. If anyone else has a decent set of 700c
wheels, I need a set for my Cross Cut.

Nine speed seems to hit the sweet spot for me on my Clem with the double
chainrings. Although, I imagine any rider could adapt to 5 or more rear
sprockets.

It's connected to a Stokemonkey e-assist unit. I have to say, 5 years of
use on this thing (and it was used when I got it) and it's been amazing. I
wouldn't be able to leave my neighborhood without it.

Mini V brakes seem like a lost middle ground IMO. Either use V brakes with
long pull levers, or cantis with short pull levers.
Either one of these option would be far better than long reach caliper

My thinking lines up with Ray's point about cogs and chains matching up as
the number of cogs increased and chains became correspondingly narrower.
Patrick's experience has been the opposite. It's always a Good Day to buy a

Thanks for the review I enjoyed it! I think you are right about the canti
posts but I suspect it is much too late to change it.

You can't just flip the spring on a derailleur. You need to change where
the cable is pulling from and where it is attached. Non-trivial since it is
built into the single molded top part. Where the barrel adjuster is
attached on a rapid rise derailleur is actually the biggest flaw in the
design
