I'm working on a new Hilsen and have a Dura Ace RD-7800 GS 9/10 speed
rear derailleur. Is anyone on the list using this with Silver downtube
shifters and a Phil Wood Rivy hub with a 7-speed freewheel? Am I stuck with
a 9-speed cassette configuration? I'm looking at my rear wheel options...
Bri
There are more knowledgeable people on the list who can correct me but I
believe that a 7 speed chain will not work with a 9/10 speed derailleur and a
9/10 speed chain will not work on a 7 speed freewheel. If you wish to set up a
7 speed bike I think you will need to find a different rear dera
It'll work. I'd recommend a skinnier chain (9s), but there should be
no problem.

Brian,
I have used 8/9 speed chains on 7 speed freewheels. The only shifting
problems I have are the rider induced ones.

I use a friction bar end shifter to run a 7 speed D-A freewheel on a Rich
Lesnik built Phil hub. It works like a charm. The wheelset was on my
Rambouillet for a while, but has moved over to a Nashbar. I noticed that an old
Sachs 7 speed FW was too wide to work (chain up aginst the chainstay in
Just use a skinnier chain (9-speed)

Title says it:
I'm looking for a good-condition used rack; either R14 or Mark's Rack.
Also looking for a Sugino crankset with chainguard, as comes on the Rivendell
Quickbeam.
Please reply off list if you have any of these that you'd like to sell.
cheers,

I've been a bit curious about the dimensions of Nitto Rando Bars as of
late. Different websites list them with differing amounts of drop-
some as high as 138mm, some as low as 120mm. A couple of questions:
1. When drop is measured on these bars (or an others for that matter),
are is it measured

My day off today, I was out the door before 6AM with my new Son
Schmidt hub lighting the way through town. It was in the 40s so I had
on woolywarm arm warmers over two jerseys, a nylon vest, Ibex tights,
and full gloves. I was on my favorite bike, a Curt-built 2001 custom
road http://tinyurl.com/
Nice report. I got my Redwood out for a 40-mile trip to a neighboring
town (Stillwater) on Saturday. Birds singing and frogs peeping and
things turning green practically before our eyes. Jacket and gloves in
the morning, just a longsleeve wool shirt with MUSA pants on the ride
back. Lovely.

Thanks, folks. I'll be running a 9-spd chain with this setup, so I'll see
how it plays out. The front derailleur is a Dura Ace 7803 to match the
Sugino triple. I'll hopefully order the wheels soon so I can get this
going.

The 650b Rivs have particularly slack HTAs. Why is that? The
(generally) wider tires? Just curious. Thanks.

Sounds like a bent tooth on a chainring.

Interesting theory rc, have you experienced this?
To the OP: What are the number of speeds, types of shifters and
brand / size of chain?

I haven't, but I'm trying to think of what could cause the same
problem to repeat itself.

Not quite sure I follow you on this one.
71 v 72? That's the 584 v 622 numbers supplied in the spec sheets on the
Hillborne
Correct. 71 on the Saluki. I think my QB and Ram were 72.5 or 73.
Wondering if the tire size explains the difference.

QB was/is 72.5 through the size run.
Rambouillet was 71 in the smallest two sizes, then eased its way up to 73 at
Yup. What I'm wondering is why models that are the same size would
have different HTA. (I had a 58 Ram and now a 58 Saluki.) Is it
purely due to wheel size or is there another design dynamic?
