[RBW] chain rub

I built up a Gus recently. I used a 1x11 Deore derailleur and the chain rubs the tire in the largest cog. The chain above the chain stay clears the tire, but below the chain stay the chain rubs the tire. Is my problem 1x11 cassettes with 135 spacing? I'm only running 2.25 tires and the Gus is r

They work very well. They’re not quite as beautiful as a silver shifter or dura ace, but they shift incredibly well. I have a pair on a vintage Stumpjumper that I ride on fairly extreme off road rides and they have been smooth, yet bulletproof. On Wed, Jul 3, 2024 at 4:27 AM Roberta wrote: > Wow

Yeah, the Paul thing is just the pod to which your mount the shifter. It doesn’t include the actual shift mechanism. I swapped the pod on my Uno shifter and it was easy but I had to modify it a bit to make it work. I think you’re looking for a part that you can have mounted at a bike shop. I’m unaw

What speed are you running? The problem with the Paul mount is that you can get a new shifter for less money. I have one of the blingy Uno shifters but I also have two bikes with Microshift and it works just as well. There isn’t too much you can do to engineer a significantly better friction shifte

I’d build it yourself if you are mechanically inclined. It’s not that hard, especially these days with YouTube videos. Rivs are dead simple and don’t have proprietary parts or hydraulic disk brakes.
