I bought a 136 link Wipperman 11se chain for my Appaloosa. Can't remember
how many excess links I removed to get the correct length chain with a 38t
big chainring and 11-40 cassette:

They also make the same length chain in 7/8/9/10-s

I have for sale an older set of Arkel GT-18 BR front panniers (retailed

gets close..STOP. Not gonna work, pull the crank back and prepare to pull
that BB and get a longer one in there.

I enumerated a list of tools, omitting the most critical one.
Learning any mechanical manuever is a LOT easier with the bike held in a
proper mechanic's work stand. Every single is a LOT harder doing it on the
ground or with the bike upside down. The work stand is the barrier. There

Then, if you do need to replace the bottom bracket, you’ll need a tool like

Great. I have the tools, just ordered the park crankpuller from VO with the

Hello Adam,
I agree 100% with Bill and Steve's recommendations. A couple things to be
aware of, make sure to put some grease on the puller before threading it
onto the crank and to tighten with the adjustable wrench, it's possible to
damage the crank arm treads otherwise. Second, the FD may ne

Generally speaking, anybody who wants to do new mechanical maneuvers, and
has the will to purchase the right tools, by all means go for it.
To swap out your crank set without swapping the BB, what you need are:
-pedal wrench
-whatever wrench you need for your crank bolts: Long 8mm allen, 14mm

Hi all,
A while back I posted about low q, low-range cranks for my Hillborne.
I just ordered one of the VO 46/30s, which seems like a good option at the
price. I'll use the stock rings first, then tweak them down the road.
A few questions - I'm going to try the install myself--I think--and this
Posted on iBob; seller said it's alright to post here; I figure that my
long-time presence on the list and the nature of the bike (long stays, I
think!) make it acceptable and I think listers will be interested.

Rule #8 is one of "The Rules" of the Velominati. It's a somewhat tongue in
cheek, somewhat serious group of cyclists who have enumerated Rules of
activity and fashion for cycling and for bicycles. Rule #8 just states
that the handlebars, saddle and tires must be very carefully and

Another good option! I have used this 10 speed 136 link chain and it lasts
forever. Splitting a chain is no big deal but I have really enjoyed not
dealing with it.
