Those are some pretty impressive breaks!
Took a look at the Gevenalle front. It only has a 14-tooth capacity. My
old Superbe had 18, so works perfectly well on the current 17-tooth jump.
On the old Raleigh, with the 23-tooth jump, it worked perfectly well as
long as I didn't use the bottom 2
Nice! How do those Compass tires compare to the JB greens?

For what it's worth, I moved to a 42/28 setup on the cranks now, and I'm
putting another CX-70 on it. Will test this out to see if it was the
original 44 ring, or the 14-tooth shift that stressed the derailleur.
I have a nice Suntour XC
I like the Herse cranks a lot. High quality, thick/durable chainrings.
I've used them now for over a year and several thousand miles between two
bikes. No problems other than a couple broken derailleurs on one of the
cranks (the Hilsen, of course) that are likely either chainline or too big
Brian, that smooth copper is a glorious color for a Hilsen! Perhaps because
it was always my favorite color in the crayon box, but it never came out on
paper the way it looked in the box.
With abandon,

Agreed - thanks, Michael. The 105 and a Sachs I had laying around both
have cages that nearly brush the chain stay. I pulled the CX70 from the
hunqa and will be using that.

A racing double has long been a recommendation for 1/2 step+granny setups,
especially on low-Q cranksets like TA Pro V and Stronglight 49. For about
six years, I've used a 70s Campy Record with a slightly wider TA triple:
50-46-26 on a Raleigh International. I've long suspected that this is

What derailleurs have you been breaking?
My Hilsen has a 44-41-24 triple setup. This originally came with a
nondescript "wide-range triple" front derailleur, which shifted miserably.
I then put on an old SunTour Supurbe "racing" derailleur. This shifts like
a dream on the 17-tooth jump from
Man I do love that goldenrod Hilsen! Such a standout color. I like the
5ish year refresh idea... looks like the new kit will serve you well for a
long time to come.

Brian,
I like the idea of Mark rack with platrack on the rear. I may have to give that
a try.
Are those Rene Herse cranks from Compass? If so, how do you like them? How
have the chainrings worn compared to other brands? I am thinking of buying a
set for my Rivendell Road Standard. Any thought
I have not found the 105 to be the best choice for very small chainrings.
The cage is too long to get low enough before it hits the stay. I have
found the Campy Comp Triple to be much better. I think the IRD is molded
after it.
Enjoy the new ride.
